A recent survey reveals a notable trend among young Londoners, particularly those aged 18-34, with 44% cycling more frequently or considering it as an alternative mode of transport. This shift is driven primarily by soaring fuel prices, with petrol prices rising by 26p and diesel by 44p per litre since February 28. The increase in fuel costs is attributed to geopolitical tensions, particularly Iran's restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz, which have impacted global oil supplies. Additionally, nearly 30% of London drivers are either cycling more or seriously considering it as fuel prices continue to climb. The e-bike rental company Lime, which commissioned the survey, highlights that cycling presents a practical and cost-effective alternative to driving, especially during periods of Tube strikes that disrupt public transport. This trend towards cycling coincides with a decrease in UK inflation, which fell from 3.3% to 2.8% in April, signaling some relief from rising living costs.
