Pedal cycles travelled 3.6 billion miles on roads in 2023, 7.3% lower than
in 2022, and is now below the level in 2014. This accounts for the
reduction in cyclist deaths. The ‘covid boost’ is well and truly over;
cycle distributors, manufacturers, and dealers are having a hard time.
Cycling infrastructure is a waste of money and space.

A well-deserved hard time, seeing that they are selling items which harm
their owners and others in so many ways.

Is that mileage just within the UK, GB or worldwide?

It’s GB data; the Dutch cycle three times that of GB…
