HC Deb 27 April 2004 vol 420 cc888-9W
Mr. Drew

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many journeys were made by bicycle in each of the last 10 years. [168302]

Mr. McNulty

Figures for Great Britain from the National Travel Survey are as follows:

Number of bicycle stages (billion)
1993 1.0
1994 1.0
1995 1.0
1996 0.9
1997 1.0
1998 0.9
1999 1.0
2000 0.9
2001 0.8
2002 0.9

Figures for 2003 are not yet available. Figures for single years are volatile because of the relatively small sample sizes. Cycling patterns over individual years are also dependent on the weather.
