The table compares the numbers of people who cycled to work in twelve areas of the
UK in the years 2001 and 2011.
Overall, the number of UK commuters who travelled to work by bicycle rose
considerably over the 10-year period. Inner London had by far the highest number of
cycling commuters in both years.
In 2001, well over 43 thousand residents of Inner London commuted by bicycle, and
this figure rose to more than 106 thousand in 2011, an increase of 144%. By contrast, although Outer London had the second highest number of cycling
commuters in each year, the percentage change, at only 45%, was the lowest of the
twelve areas shown in the table.
Brighton and Hove saw the second biggest increase (109%) in the number of
residents cycling to work, but Bristol was the UK’s second city in terms of total
numbers of cycling commuters, with 8,108 in 2001 and 15,768 in 2011. Figures for
the other eight areas were below the 10 thousand mark in both years.
