That aside, the facility does seem to successfully promote cycling
in

2001 figures for bike mode commuting share are Cambridge, 28% (which
beats Amsterdam), Oxford 16%, York 13%, Hull 12%, Boston, Lincs. 11%.
I'm not sure of the Milton Keynes figure, but I think its about 3% -
about half that for the London borough of Hackney.

the '81, '91 and 2001 census" TEC, Sept 2003
