The graph compares the percentages of males and females across five different age groups who cycled in a particular town in 2011.
Overall, females were more inclined (prefer more) to cycle than males in every age category, and participation was considerably higher among children than among adults. Notably, the trend did not decline consistently with age, instead, cycling fell sharply after childhood before rising again slightly among the oldest generation.
Cycling was the most prevalent(popular) among children aged 0-9, with just over half of both girls (51,3%) and boys (50.3%) taking part – the only bracket (category)in which the gender gap was negligible (not big). Among 10 to 17 years old, participation remained comparatively high for girls, at 42,2% but full to 24.6% to boys, producing the widest disparity(difference) recorded in the table.
Rates dropped markedly (silno) among adults of working age. Only 17.1% of women and 9/7% of men aged 18-39 rode bicyles, and the figure fekk further still among the 40-59 group, to 12,3% and 8% respectively- the lowest proportion for either genders. Eventually , among people who aged 60+ cycling participation rose to 18.5% and 13.2% for women and men, respectively.
