There are a few items about the London Congestion Charging scheme, one year on, in the press.
The actual report, at:
tfl.gov.uk cc 12monthson.pdf Open ↗
mentions that pedal cycle use is up by 20%.
In the BBC's report, at:
news.bbc.co.uk 3494015.stm Open ↗
a member of the Chamber of Commerce says: "Something needs to be done to end the anomaly of motorists paying a congestion charge at times when there is little or no congestion." I didn't realise motorists were paying to have congestion!
A cyclist appears in the pop-up on:

On BBC Breakfast this morning they read out an e-mail from someone saying they cycled the 10 miles to work, got there as quickly as the cars and didn't have to waste any time going to the gym

And 7 percent fewer accidents including cyclists. Oh, and 28% less cars involved in accidents.
Looks like we'll be all cycling into each other in the future 🙂
