Flats to rent in Barking and Dagenham may be great for cyclists

Those looking for property to rent in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham may find it is ideal for keen cyclists, as new figures have shown a dedicated bike route from the area to Central London has become increasingly popular.

Figures from Transport for London have revealed the number of cyclists using its two superhighway routes has risen by 70 per cent in the past year, with one of these being from Barking to Tower Gateway and the other from Merton to the City.

The mayor of London's transport advisor Kulveer Ranger said: "This research shows that people do believe the routes are of value, make them feel safer and are allowing them to take direct and continuous routes into Central London."

People living in the east of the capital may also enjoy cycling at high speed around the Olympic Velodrome, after riders from a club in the West Midlands recently told the evening standard the track is even faster than the one at the Manchester Cycling Centre.
