I had a quick Google of Sadiq’s record on cycling, one article from the guardian and one from a cycling mag.
Consensus seems to be that he’s pro cycling but frequently overruled by local councils (who run the roads). As a result they are massively underspent on cycling budgets. Khan has been very vocal in his criticism of these councils’ behaviour.
I worry that voting green is a missed opportunity to just get Sadiq back in cleanly with over 50% of the votes. Because I do not think that green has a real chance of winning anything.
I also heard a green candidate on R4 recently speaking critically of the LTNs.
