If the only figures you have are for commuting share, then those are the only ones you can accurately quote.<br /><br />My irritation with quoting of commuting shares as being equivalent to the share of cycle journeys as a whole was stirred more from <a href="http://www.aviewfromthecyclepath.com/2009/12/David Hembrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14543024940730663645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102538965694240940.post-4159946875415257772013-12-30T17:03:48.681+01:002013-12-30T17:03:48.681+01:00Sorry you're not impressed.

The only data I've seen breaks trips down into commuting, shopping, and recreation with commuting being the biggest chunk. <br /><br />I'm doing research on what the explanation is for these data and what could be done to Ezrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02927319516277013697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102538965694240940.post-36214912575645016452011-02-14T00:30:07.262+01:002011-02-14T00:30:07.262+01:00@r s thompson.

So the total of social activies is 25% of which 11% is visiting friends and the rest is riding with friends rather than going to them. At least that is how I understood it.Mark W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07882028603632115187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102538965694240940.post-89263328405788261642011-02-13T23:47:44.585+01:002011-02-13T23:47:44.585+01:0014% are social, and 11% are to go visiting.

Except for young boys cycling more than girls, that diagram could almost be a copy. The middle aged men (not wearing lycra ;-) do not start cycling again when women do, so women cycle twice as often. <br /><br />What surprises me a little is that except for kids under 12, the development of cycling rates are verytimoohzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834503055085746194noreply@blogger.com
