[email protected] SE1A 2AA 5 October 2010 Dear Valerie Re: Transport Committee’s investigation into the Barclay’s Cycle Superhighway and Barclay’s Cycle Hire scheme Thank you for your letter of 13 September inviting TfL to contribute to the Committee’s scrutiny into these flagship initiatives. I have included with this letter an appendix setting out answers to the specific factual questions included with your letter. You asked also what impacts the Superhighways and Cycle Hire schemes have had to date and what lessons had been learned. Before moving on to address these points I do think it valid to caution the Committee on making firm conclusions on the operation of either scheme so soon following their launch.
