However, the NTS does include the following caveat: "Due to the relatively small number of cyclists in the NTS sample, results for travel by bicycle are more volatile than those for other modes."</p> <p>It is also interesting to see that <a href="http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/statistics/datatablespublications/accidents/casualtiesmr/rrcgbmainresults2009">number of cyclists killed</a> fell by 10 per cent from 115 in 2008 to 104 in 2009. </p> chdot on ""2009 cycle use increased to the highest level in decades"" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1158#post-10671 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 14:50:36 +0000 chdot 10671@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.ctc.org.uk/DesktopModules/Articles/ArticlesView.aspx?TabID=0&amp;ItemID=480&amp;mid=13641" rel="nofollow">http://www.ctc.org.uk/DesktopModules/Articles/ArticlesView.aspx?TabID=0&amp;ItemID=480&amp;mid=13641</a> </p>
