Headline cycling stats:</p> <p>Average number of trips by bike by Scottish residents remains at 9 per year</p> <p>Average distance cycled by Scottish residents increases from 34 miles in 2011 to 35 miles in 2012</p> <p>Average length of cycle trip in Scotland increases from 3.6 miles in 2009/10 to 3.9 miles in 2011/12</p> <p>Cycling to work remains at 2%</p> <p>Cycling to school falls from 3% to 2.9% in Hands Up Survey and from 1.4% to 0.8% in the National Statistic</p> <p>An increase in total distance cycled from 305 million km to 310 million km</p> <p>In summary, people who cycled in 2011 cycled further in 2012 and there seems to be a fall in people cycling to school. There is no obvious increase in the number of people cycling. </p> <p>Clearly, Edinburgh appears to be bucking this trend, which probably means that cycling is becoming even less common elsewhere.</p> <p>Full details: <a href="http://www.transportscotland.gov.uk/strategy-and-research/publications-and-consultations/j285663-00.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.transportscotland.gov.uk/strategy-and-research/publications-and-consultations/j285663-00.htm</a> </p>
