Cycling is a fast, cheap, healthy and sustainable way of
getting around. As part of our policy to encourage people to cycle to and from
DLR stations, we are delivering improved facilities for cyclists across the DLR
network.
New and improved cycle parking provision is planned at both
new and existing DLR stations with the objective of delivering high quality
consistent cycle parking at all DLR stations. We will also work towards
creating strategic ‘cycle hubs’ at key DLR stations to provide extra
facilities, events, and information about cycling.
Our four key objectives are:
- To improve cycle parking at stations to deliver
a better quality, safer and more convenient cycling environment
- To promote activities to provide people with
information, skills and positive examples that will encourage them to cycle
- To work with partners to improve cycle links to
DLR stations to make cycling feasible as part of longer journeys
- To maximise the shared benefits to cyclists
through co-ordination with other relevant organisations, programmes and
initiatives

installed.
