Record numbers of people used the “Boris bike” cycle hire scheme to get around London this year.
More than 10.3 million journeys have been made using Santander Cycles in 2017.
October was the “best month on record”, with just under one million bikes being hired.
It follows the introduction of a new comfier bike which is easier to manouvre built by British bike manufacturer Pashley Cycles.
Will Norman, London’s Walking and Cycling Commissioner, said: “The scheme is such a great way for all abilities to cycle around our city, I’ve no doubt that their popularity will continue to increase.”
In total there have been more than 67 million journeys since the scheme was launched in July 2010.
Santander Cycles will extend into Brixton early next year with seven new docking stations to provide space for up to 200 bikes.
