At the first Mayor's Question Time since the Olympics, the Games' legacy is on the agenda. Boris Johnson says the Olympic Park is going to be a "cyclist's paradise". The aviation needs of London are also getting an airing.

He denies he sees the argument in terms of Heathrow versus the Thames estuary (or the Prime Minister versus the Mayor).
