One of the elements I took from this is
- That Hyde Park (i.e. a car free) is a very popular area for cycling.
- Tourists prefer car free places to commuters
- Women use bikes considerably less than men (but not in the Netherlands)
- Women much prefer the car free areas to men
- Women tend to be more evenly distributed compared to men who cluster more.
Quote "In the Netherlands 25-30% of all journeys are made by bicycle." (wow) if we could do that to London it would make a considerable difference to congestion, energy consumption, pollution and health.
The problem of studying bike hire is that the bike parking locations aren't randomly distributed - still it's informative.
