About 385,000 spectators(观众)are expected to travel to the 2012 Olympic Games in London on foot or by cycle, the Olympic Delivery Authority(ODA)said.
More than 4,400 spectators will cycle on peak days, according to the ODA.About 10,000 will walk.Experts believe it will be the largest number of people to cycle to an Olympic Games, which underlines the organisers' determination that it will be a largely "car-free" event.
Another multi-million-pound fund is being created to improve the Greenway, an area inside and next to the Olympic Park.The Greenway will give access to the Olympic Park for a fifth of spectators.Most improvements on the Greenway will remain after the Games.Mayor Boris Johnson hailed(欢呼)“The legacy of some fantastic new green ways of getting about the city”.
The first cycle road, linking green spaces in Hackney, will run for 7.2 miles from Finsbury Park to Victoria Park, where 5,000 free bike parking spaces will be created.From here, spectators will walk across the Greenway into the Olympic Park.The second path will run for 6.3 miles from Epping Forest across Wanstead Flats to the Olympic Park.
Six other cycle roads will be upgraded(加强), with clearer signs for walkers and cyclists.Roads will be widened to cope with traffic.The area north of the Olympic Park will get 2,000 bike parking spaces, with 200 spaces to the south.
