Was it actually Boris that initiated that? I have a vague recollection of
the ground work being done by Ken.

That's what I thought.


The broad concept - and indeed name - of the "Cycle Superhighways"
merged towards the end of Ken's second term.

They concept has developed since they were first launched, with far more
of a focus on segregated cycleways.

I'm no fan of Mr Johnson (never have been, but even less so of late),
however I think he can justifiably claim some credit for them. They were
disruptive to build, and involved reallocating road space away from
vehicles. Hopefully now the concept has some momentum that the current
and future Mayors can latch on to.
