So this is what the London Assembly presented to Boris Johnson in November 2012 to address "falling cycle safety by prioritising ways to encourage more people on to bikes and reduce serious cycling incidents on London’s roads."

One of the 5 major points was to appoint a commissioner of cycling, Andrew Gilligan was appointed.

The only time I've seen him was giving a couple of sheepish TV interviews (before Boris stepped in) after the recent deaths of cycling Londoners on the roads (where he looked liked he was told to victim blame but looked very uncomfortable doing so).
What has he done for cycling and what influence does he have?
