Pedal cycles travelled 3.6 billion miles on roads in 2023, 7.3% lower than
in 2022, and is now below the level in 2014. This accounts for the
reduction in cyclist deaths. The ‘covid boost’ is well and truly over; cycle distributors, manufacturers, and dealers are having a hard time.
Cycling infrastructure is a waste of money and space.

A well-deserved hard time, seeing that they are selling items which harm their owners and others in so many ways.

Is that mileage just within the UK, GB or worldwide?
