No change in either figure from previous years.<br /> Bike as usual means of transport to school is 1.7%, up from 1.2% the previous year. This figure is pretty variable due to small sample size.<br /> The SUSTRANS hands-up survey gives a cycling to school rate of 3.4%.<br /> For every 1000 people aged 17+, Edinburgh had 384 vehicles - the lowest proportion in Scotland.</p> <p>Fill your boots with transport statistics at:<br /> <a href="http://www.transport.gov.scot/report/j415388-00.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.transport.gov.scot/report/j415388-00.htm</a> </p>
