Industrial estates have also been captured despite this being a residential survey. But apart from those data resolution niggles, it's very interesting.</p> <p>Turn on the car layer and Edinburgh looks like a donut! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15914#post-208416 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 10:12:00 +0000 wingpig 208416@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hmm. I think <a href="http://maps.cdrc.ac.uk/#/metrics/traveltowork_nocar/default/BTTTFTT/13/-0.2297/53.1480/">some areas</a> are afflicted by postcodes covering a largish area with very few respondents - the bicycle is not the most popular non-car mode of the population of the new estate along Witham Road (even with the relatively recent improvements to nearby facilities) and the nearest train/metro facility to Woodland Drive is twelve miles bus/drive away in Metheringham; if you're on a bus which goes through Metheringham then you'd be better off staying on it all the way to Lincoln. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15914#post-208415 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 10:10:44 +0000 The Boy 208415@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Is it people who live there, or simply any journey to a place of work. If the latter then that would presumably include any journey taken after the working day has started - say getting a taxi from main place of work to another site for a meeting. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15914#post-208413 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 10:04:25 +0000 fimm 208413@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@dougal yes I was intrigued by that. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15914#post-208405 Thu, 14 Jan 2016 09:51:25 +0000 dougal 208405@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's the yellow taxi/other at Livingston's Houston industrial estate that interests me! Who lives there? Why do they all take taxis? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15914#post-208389 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 22:23:02 +0000 Darkerside 208389@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hats off to Cambridge... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15914#post-208373 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 20:30:41 +0000 crowriver 208373@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Edinburgh a bit disappointing in terms of cycling, but no surprise that walking is so popular, it's a very alkable city.</p> <p>Glasgow with its extensive suburban rail network, sees rail usage quite high. Also settlements along the main rail lines between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Interesting to note Inverness and surrounds have quite good levels for cycling. St Andrews and Leuchars also unsurprisingly have good levels of cycling. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15914#post-208365 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 18:29:04 +0000 MediumDave 208365@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sweet! The street where I used to live at the time of that Census is one of the few (possibly only?) in Edinburgh where cycling wins out, even when looking at the map where cars are included. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15914#post-208352 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 16:13:38 +0000 dougal 208352@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://maps.cdrc.ac.uk/#/metrics/traveltowork_nocar/default/BTTTFTT/10/-3.2506/55.8422/" rel="nofollow">http://maps.cdrc.ac.uk/#/metrics/traveltowork_nocar/default/BTTTFTT/10/-3.2506/55.8422/</a></p> <p>From here:</p> <p><a href="http://oobrien.com/2016/01/what-if-there-were-no-cars/" rel="nofollow">http://oobrien.com/2016/01/what-if-there-were-no-cars/</a> </p>
