At a time of falling police numbers nationally, we are increasing the number of officers in our dedicated Met Police Cycle Task Force by more than a quarter. Riding bikes themselves, they will target particular cyclist misbehaviour hotspots.</p> <p>We also think the new infrastructure we’re putting in will improve cyclist behaviour. Removing one-way streets and gyratories will cut the incidence of cyclists riding the wrong way or on pavements. Giving cyclists defined space of their own will reduce conflict between them and pedestrians. One of the best ways of stopping people cycling on the pavement is to give them better places to cycle on the road.</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/london-life/andrew-gilligan-why-london-needs-more-women-cyclists--and-fewer-testosteronefuelled-men-8651828.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/london-life/andrew-gilligan-why-london-needs-more-women-cyclists--and-fewer-testosteronefuelled-men-8651828.html</a> </p>
