The given table illustrates the proportions of people (male and female), categorized by age, who rode bicycles in one large city in the year 2012.
Overall, in each age group, females rode bicycles the most. It can be seen that children (boys and girls) rode bicycles the most, while the middle-age group rode bicycles the least.
From the data, girls whose ages were less than 10 rode bicycles the most in any age group, either male or female. There was a huge percentage gap in the age group of 10 to 19, where females rode bicycles more than males by nearly 18%. As the age group progressed to working age (20 to 39), the proportion decreased drastically to 18.2%, and it continued to decrease until the age group of old age, where there was a sudden spike of 6% from middle age.
On the other hand, 51.2% of children (boys) used bicycles the most, which dramatically dropped to 21.1%, nearly half, when it came to the younger age group. On the same trend, it again dropped to 10.8% in the working-age group and then to 9.3% in middle age, respectively. Only in old age did they begin to use bicycles again, which accounted for 14.6%.
