The table presents the proportions of the population in different age groups within a town who rode bicycles in 2011. Overall, the youngest age group shows the highest proportion of cyclists, while the opposite is true for individuals aged 40 to 59, regardless of gender.
In the youngest age group of 0 to 9 years old, bicycles were predominantly ridden by females, who represented 51.4% compared to 50.3% of males. This trend persists in the following age group of 10 to 17 years, where the percentage of female cyclists was 42.2%, significantly higher than the 24.6% of male cyclists. As the age brackets progress, the gap becomes even more pronounced; among individuals aged 18 to 39, only 17.1% of females were reported as cyclists, while a mere 9.7% of males engaged in cycling activities.
In the 40 to 59 age group, the percentage for females accounted for 12.3%, outnumbering males by 4.3%. Finally, among those older than 60 years, the percentage of male cyclists was 13.2%, which is lower than that of female cyclists by 5.3%.
