Boris Johnson made his comments during Prime Minister’s question time on April 6.
U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has told parliament that the near future “should be a new golden age for cycling.” He made his comments during Prime Minister’s question time on May 6.
Johnson was answering a question from former transport secretary Therese Villiers who asked whether the Prime Minister would be seeking assurances from London Mayor Sadiq Khan that the London Underground tube service would soon be open to use for all who wanted to use it and not just key workers. “A crucial part of our success now in getting transport to run safely will be running a bigger and more expansive tube service so that people can observe social distancing,” replied Johnson.... [+]Unbidden, Johnson—who, before becoming prime minister regularly cycled in London—added that “there will be a huge amount of planning going to helping people to get to work other than by mass transit and this should be a new golden age for cycling.
Johnson also said that measures to support cycling would be announced on Sunday or early next week as part of a government statement on the coronavirus strategy going forward.
