  • Official: massive fall in cycling mileage

    From Spike@aero.spike@mail.com to uk.rec.cycling on Thu May 23 15:54:25 2024
    From Newsgroup: uk.rec.cycling


    Pedal cycles travelled 3.6 billion miles on roads in 2023, 7.3% lower than
    in 2022, and is now below the level in 2014. This accounts for the
    reduction in cyclist deaths. The rCycovid boostrCO is well and truly over; cycle distributors, manufacturers, and dealers are having a hard time.
    Cycling infrastructure is a waste of money and space.

    A well-deserved hard time, seeing that they are selling items which harm
    their owners and others in so many ways.

    Is that mileage just within the UK, GB or worldwide?

    Do you think the loonies will take any notice of facts? :-(

    ItrCOs GB data; the Dutch cycle three times that of GBrCa
