2001 figures for bike mode commuting share are
Cambridge, 28% (which beats Amsterdam),
Oxford 16%, York 13%, Hull 12%, Boston, Lincs. 11%.

See Jon Parkin "Comparisons of cycle use for the journey
to work from the '81, '91 and 2001 census" TEC, Sept 2003


Does it give any indication of how flat the various places are? I have to
laugh when politicians openly wonder why cycling is less popular in London
than in Amsterdam.

A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes
