The table illustrates the percentage of people who rode bicycles in 2011, categorised by age group and gender. Overall, cycling was most common among young children and declined with age, with notable differences between males and females.
The highest participation was in the 0-9 age group, where 51.3% of females and 50.3% of males used bicycles. This was followed by a drop in the 10-17 group, with 42.2% of females and 24.6% of males. The lowest figures were in the 18-39 and 40-59 age ranges, particularly among males (9.7% and 8.0% respectively). Interestingly, cycling rates increased slightly among those aged 60 and over, with 18.5% of females and 13.2% of males participating.
Across all age groups, females consistently showed higher cycling rates than males. The largest gender gap was in the 18-39 group, where female participation was nearly double that of males. In summary, children were the most active cyclists, usage declined in adulthood, and women were more likely than men to ride bicycles at every age.
