    In the aftermath of tube strike chaos, 72% of Londoners say they are not
    more likely to cycle in future

    potential as a safe, healthy transport mode"...

    In contrast, almost three-quarters of Londoners say they are not more
    likely to cycle following the recent Tube strike disruption.

    As large parts of the London Underground were closed for five days at the
    start of September, cycling journeys and hire bike use soared with images
    of packed cycle lanes making news stories and attracting plenty of
    attention online.

    New data from Lime and YouGov, shared with The Standard (q.v. external) and
    the result of a survey of 1,027 Londoners, found that 72 per cent of people
    are now not more likely to consider cycling in the future.
