Really?
Having ridden in London since I came here 25 years ago there has been genuine improvements, steady and on going especially in central London Boroughs. speeds are slower as are the number of people driving, Bus lanes on A roads are enforced and bus drivers have vastly improved their behavior. London LAs and TfL have been actively promoting cycling and discouraging driving. While it is work in process (until the robocars arrive) London is probably the best place to cycle in the UK. People visiting from other UK cities are astounded at the ease of riding especially if you know the best routes
Even the ES had its own cycling campaign as well as the campaign in the Times
