The given table presents the prevalence of bicycle use among the population of a particular town in 2011, grouped by five age brackets.
Overall, females were more inclined to use bicycles than males across all age segments. This difference was most pronounced in the 10-17 age group. Furthermore, bicycle usage generally declined with age, though an uptick was observed in the oldest age category.
Looking first at the younger cohorts, children below the age of 9 showed the highest bicycle usage, with just over half of them riding bicycles. Among those between 10 and 17 years old, the cycling rate for females was 42.2%, which was about double the figure for the male counterparts, at 24.6%.
Turning to the older groups, 17.1% and 12.3% of women aged 18 to 39 and 40 to 59 were reported bike users, outranking men, at only 9.7% and 8%, in that order. Interestingly, for those aged 60 and above, bicycle usage saw a minor resurgence: 18.5% of women and 13.2% of men in this age category reported cycling.
