Londoners asked to nominate cycling heroes for Women’s Day

TfL said there are projects aimed at encouraging more women and girls to cycle including Cycle Sisters and Cycle Together.

Discounts on hire bikes are also available for students, care leavers and older Londoners, according to TfL’s latest action plan.

It said it’s network had grown from 90km in 2016 to more than 431km, with nearly a third of Londoners now living within 400m of a route.

Cyclists are being asked to email SantanderCyclesvote@tfl.gov.uk or post their entry by 8 February for the chance to see their hero’s name on a bike.

Nominations should include the person’s name and a short explanation of why they are inspiring.
