Today's Grauniad has a nice interactive infographic show how often people cycle in every local authority in England:
Apparently just 6% cycle once a week here in Gateshead. 😕
cheers, nice graphics.
You need a mashup with Strava segments laid over that now 😀
Well apparently 0 ride 5x a week in my area, i can't be the only one! Only 7 1x per week as well
25-36 ! Yay for MK.
How come I never get asked? I know, it's because I'm always too busy riding my bike lol
17-25 for me. I'm one of the 7% who cycles 5 x a week. Except for this week, as my hub gears on the commuter exploded on Wednesday and the mtb is still in bits awaiting a new chainring after cleaning all the sand out from Swinley the other weekend...
Very interesting.
So Luton is a cyling black spot. Its vicious cirle. Cycling in an area where people rarely cycle is more dangerous than in an area where its more popular
Not many here in Calderdale according to that?
I wouldn't trust anything produced from data from the Active People Survey to be statistically significant. They ask a tiny proportion of people and work up from that.
They quote the sample sizes for each authority. Looks like 500 is about average. That's not. [i]too[/i] bad.
I think the bigger issue is that people lie, especially if it makes them sound healthier / fitter than they are.
I work in an 8-storey office block and usually have the cycle rack to myself.
If 6% are cycling here once a week then they aren't doing it to get to work!
