London Mayor Boris Johnson has announced that the capital’s first cycle-friendly “Quietways” will open in May 2015.

The £120 million network of cycle Quietways will form part of a network of cycle routes to replace the National Cycle Network. The Quietways routes will take cyclists round backstreets and along towpaths, as well as through the Olympic Park in east London and the Royal Parks in central London.

Boris Johnson said that the new Quietways would encourage more cyclists to take to London’s roads – including those who felt intimidated by traffic on busy roads. The Quietways will also encourage more cyclists in outer London to use their bikes.

The first two routes will lead from central London to Hackney in north London and Greenwich in southeast London. Later, there will be an extension of the Quietways route from Hackney to Walthamstow in east London. A further five routes are at the planning stage – and plans for another 24 routes will be underway or in planning by 2016.

Transport for London has awarded a three-year contract to cycling and walking charity Sustrans to deliver the Quietways network, in partnership with local London boroughs.

The routes used will mainly be lower-traffic roads – and the Quietways routes will not be segregated from normal traffic, although they will be direct routes and clearly signposted.
