Unpublished TfL funded study seems to conclude LTNs are far from best way to promote cycling

A few weeks back, I read about a University of Westminster study, name Travel and Places,  that TfL had funded which seems to have concluded that LTNS as they have been set up are far from being the best way of promoting cycling. For some reason it was never published and the only way I could get to see a copy was via an FOI request.  

I don't have the time to go through it all, but am sharing it below for others that might have. 

The study's "Key Takeaways" are:

• For every one unit increase in the Cyclability of the local environment, the likelihood of having cycled in the past week and past year increases by 60% and 38% respectively. The more cycling-friendly the environment is, the more cycling participants do.

• For the same one unit increase in local Cyclability, the likelihood of perceiving the local environment as unsafe for cycling in general decreases by 45%. The more cycling-friendly the local environment is, the safer it is perceived for cycling.

• For every one per cent increase in local roads with TfL Cycleways on them, the likelihood of that participant having cycled in the past week and past year increases by 6.4% and 8% respectively. The more TfL Cycleways near to one’s home, the more likely one is to cycle, even after accounting for all other aspects of Cyclability.

• For the same one per cent increase in roads with TfL Cycleways, the likelihood of perceiving the local environment as unsafe for cycling in general decreases by 11.9%. The more TfL Cycleways near to one’s home, the safer one perceives the local cycling environment.

• For every one per cent increase in local roads that are within an LTN, the likelihood of that participant having cycled in the past week increases by 3.2%, and the number of minutes cycled in that week increases by 1.6 minutes. Living in an area that is more connected to an LTN is associated with being more likely to cycle and for longer.

• For the same one per cent increase in roads that are within LTNs, the likelihood of perceiving the local environment as unsafe for cycling in general decreases by 2.1%.
