25-year study on the use of bicycles in Britain by age and gender

25-year study on the use of bicycles in Britain by age and gender gqQQa

The table shows trends in bicycle use in Britain over a twenty-five-year period. In general, men travelled greater distances than women and the trend was for people to cycle fewer and fewer miles per year. Another trend was that the very oldest and the youngest travelled less than all other age groups. There was a noticeable decline in the distances travelled by nearly all groups. The figure for all cyclists began at 51 miles per annum. By the end of the period, this figure had dropped by a fifth. Girls aged 11-17 also cycled less than half as many miles by year 25. The only group who cycled further at the end of the study were male 18 to 59-year-olds. One of the most striking changes concerns 5 to 10-year-old girls, whose milage began to increase towards the end of the period. In fact, they cycled twice the number of miles in the final year compared to the first. Women cycled far fewer miles than men. For most age groups, distances cycled by women were not nearly as great as those cycled by men. The greatest difference can be seen in the 11-17 age group, where boys cycled about four times as far as girls.
