The table compares the proportion of two genders by five age groups in a town who cycled in 2011. Overall, the rate of the female population riding bikes was higher than that of male counterparts, and the figure depended on the age. Particularly, the older people were, the less likely they to ride bicycles.
Upon closer inspection, 0-9 years old was the age group in which both the percentage of the female and male population reached the highest rate of using bikes, respectively at 51.3% and 50.3%. However, at the 10-17 age group, the proportion of women cycling declined to 42.2%, which was higher than the 24.6% of men. Notably, the percentage of the 18-to 39-year-old female population slumped to 17.1% followed by 9.7% of their male counterparts.
In terms of the remaining age groups, it can be seen that both the proportion of men and women at 10-17 years old experienced a decrease to 12.3% and 8.0% respectively. Conversely, at the oldest age group, the percentage of the female population riding bikes witnessed an increase at 18.5%, which was higher than the figure for men, with a 13.2% increase. However, these rises could not be compared to other age groups.
