'Significant drop' in cyclist deaths and serious injury
Boris Johnson claims there has been a "significant drop" in deaths and serious injury to cyclists in London. The Mayor says there were 475 serious injuries in 2013 compared to 657 in 2012.
It's a bold claim by Boris, but it applies only to serious injuries. There were 14 deaths in both 2012 and 2013.
