Call for mayor and TfL to cut cycling casualties

The mayor of London is being called on to reduce the number of serious cycling accidents on London's roads.

A report by London Assembly's transport committee said the number of cycling casualties had risen by 50% between 2006 and 2011.

The report recommends doubling the funding for cycling in the Transport for London (TfL) budget.

The mayor's office said details of a "major new investment in cycling" would be outlined later this year.
