TfL's own research into the matter — commissioned by Mayor of London Sadiq
Khan in March, it involved recording 24 hours of rush hour video at eight
sites — found that *60 per cent of cyclists* *did not stop* to let
pedestrians cross at floating bus stops with zebra crossings. [emphasis
added]

"Where there was a pedestrian/cyclist interaction, a significant number of
cyclists did not yield to pedestrians (60 per cent didn't yield, compared
to 40 per cent that did)," the leaked TfL slides stated. "Most often
non-yielding involved the pedestrian waiting until the cyclists had passed,
some occasions the cyclists would pass the pedestrian on the crossing, and
other occasions the pedestrian did not cross at all and continued to stand
at the crossing until a bus arrived."
