Reference my last post:
I was surprised by the decline in participation in cycling. The NSGA data show sharp declines in the numbers of bicycling participants and frequent participants.
Perhaps here in the Washington, DC, area with its high per capita income and emerging network of trails I get a distorted picture of what is really happening in cycling. When I go out on the local recreational trails, especially on weekends, i see plenty of people bicycling.
Also group bicycle rides in which I have participated have no shortage of participants. Thousands participate in the Seagull Century on Maryland's Eastern Shore every fall.
Perhaps the decline is a sign of aging of the population.
Do you out there in cyberspace cycle more or less now than you used to? What are your observations about cycling near where you live?
