London’s walking and cycling commissioner Will Norman said: “This competition is a great way for Londoners to discover the city’s surprising wildlife and explore its green spaces by bike. <\/p>\n

“The new wildlife-themed side quest routes are designed to encourage people to take a detour from their usual journeys and explore more of London’s hidden gems, supporting the mayor’s commitment to increasing cycling trips and building a greener London for everyone. <\/p>\n

“With some great prizes up for grabs, I encourage all Londoners to get out on bikes, take some pictures and get to know London’s greener side.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Sir David Attenborough highlighted London’s wildlife in one-off documentary Wild London. <\/p>\n

The programme, aired on BBC One on 1 January and still available on BBC iPlayer<\/a>, showed how the capital is abundant with animal curiosities: from pigeons hopping on to the Hammersmith and City line to fallow deer roaming from Dagnam Park on to streets in Harold Hill.<\/p>\n
