Analysis by Tom Edwards, Transport correspondent

If you have been on one of London’s bridges in rush hour you will have seen the thousands of commuters using bikes to get around.

There are long queues to get off the bridges.

So is London at the tipping point where cycling becomes normal?

That is certainly what City Hall wants and the numbers certainly show more and more people are taking to two wheels.

There seems to be a virtuous circle. Segregated bike lanes increase safety, which leads to more riders, which in turn makes cycling even safer.

And if you know someone who cycles, it becomes much more normal for you to try it as well.

Another interesting addition is the rise of the hire e-bikes like Lime.

They seem to be targeting a younger Gen Z and Millennial generation which is also increasing the number of riders.

Of course, there are still many issues about cycling in London, but for many it is simply just a clean, effective form of getting around in the capital.
