So, what about walking and cycling?

Even those who live within cycling or walking distance of their offices have admitted that they’re worried about what the future holds.

Lucy Robson, who notes that her commute would take just under 60 minutes if she walked to work, says that the two hour round trip will be better for her overall health, but that it will challenge her “already poor” morning skills.

And Hollie Richardson, who self-identifies as “that annoying person who can cycle from my flat to the office in under half an hour”, points out: “With more people turning to cycling over the coming months, there’s going to be more bikes on the road, which means it’s going to become more dangerous.

“TfL really needs to respond with improving the city’s infrastructure ASAP,” she adds. “They are way behind other countries on this, so really need to get a move on!”

With this in mind, the Bicycle Association (BA) has approached the government with a number of proposals, including pop-up bike lanes, secure cycle parking, a zero VAT “holiday” for all bikes, refresher cycling courses for adults, e-bikes and cycle repairs, and subsidies for repairs.

They have also suggested that the government introduce a £250 grant for anyone buying an e-bike, as well as a £50 bike repair voucher as has been introduced in France.

We guess we’ll have to see if Johnson makes good on his promise of a “golden age for cycling”, then, won’t we?
