    • Amplify Barclay’s dedication to innovation.

    Barclay’s Cycle Superhighways are new cycle lanes into central London from outer London

    • Improve cycling conditions for people who already commute by bike
    • Encourage those who don’t to take to pedal power and keep fit
    • Help cut congestion
    • Relieve overcrowding on public transport
    • Reduce emissions.

    Key ‘Must-Have’ features

    • Launch with iPhone and Android applications
    • Integrate cycle hire and cycle superhighways
