CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
Just found this off a link off a link from an old thread.
Published in the Scotsman a year ago so presume there is an update due(?)
I assume it's UK, and cycling figures won't be Edinburgh ones but still interesting.
May have been on here before but don't remember it.
Couldn't see the data but the graph and pies suggest that in early 1990s lots ofpeoplemstoppedmwalking and started driving??? Everything else fairly flat.Curious.

I get the whole image, just can't see the actual numbers?
The chart may have been produced by Cara Holland at GraphicChange according to gugol and an ex-Twitter feed, but doesn't seem to have been active since the middle of last year.
Interesting spike in car (et al.) use in 1999-00. I wonder if that was associated with the point at which house prices and lending went through the roof.
The data comes from the National Travel Survey which only has a small sample in Scotland, which is why the each point is based on three years data combined. You can find the data on Transport Scotland's website.
I think the spike in car use is part of a much longer post-war trend, partly of increasing car ownership. Main factors probably spread of new housing developments and out of town shopping.
