| Charlotte appears to be taking it from the Travel In London Report from TFL: http://content.tfl.gov.uk/travel-in-london-report-10.pdf She might be using the previous version of it, but it seems that she is taking it from a table like the one at the top of page 28. The fact that the number isn't given with any decimal places allows her to give her misleading figures. If you look at some of the other tables you can get a better picture, but rounding issues still cause problems. If you look at the table on page 25 of that report, it shows what looks to be the raw data behind it. 2005 is the first year showing 2% in the table on page 28 of the report. On the table on page 25, you get 1.5% (to one decimal place) if you divide the cycling journeys by the total journeys, which is rounded up to 2%. The most recent row in that table works out at 2.2% (again approximate due to lack of decimal places), now rounded down to 2%. Presenting it a different way, 1.5% to 2.2% between 2005 and 2016 is a 47% increase in the modal share of cycling (in a lot less than 18 years). That is also based on 2016 figures. From what I see on the streets, I'd say the number of cyclists has increased significantly since then. There was an 8% increase in cycling from 2015 to 2016, and from what I see, there will be at least that much in subsequent years, probably more with the Mobikes that I'm starting to see everywhere. |
