Like many businesses in London, one of the most popular modes of transport to the office is cycling and an even larger proportion of the team would cycle to the office if they felt it was safer than it is now. We value employee satisfaction, health and freedom and firmly endorse the Mayor’s Vision for Cycling in London. We specifically support the cross London plans from City Hall to create new segregated routes through the heart of the city. These plans are good for London and Londoners, making it a more attractive and productive city in which we can build a business and serve customers. Proposed Farringdon Road route. Image from Transport For London 2014. I encourage everyone to respond directly to TFL about these proposals. This particularly applies to businesses whose support for cycling is often not registered. * [Proposed route North – South](https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/cycling/northsouth?intcmp=20888) – [Feedback](https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/cycling/northsouth/consultation/intro/view) * [Proposed route East – West](https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/cycling/eastwest?intcmp=20887) –  [Feedback](https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/cycling/eastwest/consultation/intro/view) I know that there many business leaders like me who feel the same and will be speaking up over the coming days.
