The bar graph illustrates the number of bicycles and cars produced globally between 1950 and 2000, with data provided every 10 years. Overall, both figures have increased during this period. Additionally, the quantity of bicycles has always been higher.
In 1950 and 1960, bike production did not even reach 1 million. It rose to about 40 million in 1970. Followed by the next ten years, it broke through the 100 million level. The number of bicycles in the final two years (1990 and 2000) increased steadily, approximately 50 million every 10 years, and reached a peak of over 200 million.
The cars, meanwhile, saw a slower climb than the bikes. Similar to the other, motorcar production was under 1 million in the first two years. Then, rose sustainably to around 10 million in 1970, 25 million in 1980, and stopped at 50 million in 2000.
In conclusion, the development in the production of both transport reflects the increase in people’s need to purchase vehicles, especially bikes.
