  • Cycling for leisure: rates fall in 2022

    From Spike@21:1/5 to All on Tue Nov 7 10:51:20 2023
    Official data, not overblown cyclist-group hype:

    Cycling for leisure

    The proportion of adults cycling for leisure at least once per week has decreased slightly in comparison to 2021, falling from 6% to 5%. This is
    the lowest level of cycling for leisure seen since the Active Lives Survey first began.

    Regional levels of cycling for leisure at least once a week remain similar
    in 2022 compared to 2021 with small decreases in all regions. Each of the regions witnessed increases in cycling for leisure during 2020, however, current cycling levels for this purpose remain lower than 2019, with the
    North East falling from 7% in 2019 to 4% in 2022

    That's a 20% drop!

    More than "slight"!

    Quite!

    Qualification:

    "20% drop" here means that the figure used to be estimated as being 20%
    higher than it is currently estimated (to the extent that it could ever
    be accurately estimated in the first place).

    That's just in case anyone comes along and points out that 5 is not 80%
    of 6.
