I might be missing something, but the booklet explains that a mayoral candidate receiving over 50% of ‘first choice’ votes wins. So if the cycling vote were split between green and labour, it follows that an anti-cycling candidate could win simply by having a more focused electorate.

Yeah. My understanding is Labour first, Green second. Otherwise there’s a risk of the crazies getting in.
Overall one for @London_Cycling_Campaign to chip in and tell us what we need to do 🙂

If bailey gets more than 50% then it's irrelevant whether the left vote is split.
Also if bailey does get that vote share, the political commentary of London is way off, khan is probably over 50% but a first vote green and second khan makes sense and is low risk. With the benefit of course of letting khan know that green politics are vote winners.

I believe you are.
There is zero chance of Sean Bailey, or, any other right wing candidate passing 50% of first choice votes. There are at least three swivel-eyed loons who will peel off some anti-bike/anti-Sadiq votes.
Depending upon the weather on the day, which will affect turnout,
Sadiq has a good chance to win on first choice votes.
My Green first choice vote registers discontent with some of the policies of the last five years, but my second choice vote indicates that a Labour London Mayor is much better option for all Londoners than anyother realistic alternative.

You've got a transferable vote for 'Mayor'.
