Ride Statistics
How many riders? When Cyclesolihull rides first started six riders was considered a good turnout and some rides attracted no one! As the rides have become better known the average has gradually increased and in 2008 it reached nearly 20. Obviously the numbers on a particular ride partly depends on the weather and what else is happening on that day. Generally the shorter daytime rides attract the greatest numbers because families with young children often come along.
Men & Women In countries where cycling is a normal way of getting around, men and women cycle similar distances but in the UK cycling has become rather a male thing. We want to challenge that view! Already about a third of Cyclesolihull riders are women and we would like to increase that to 50%.
Children Help your children to discover the fun of getting around under their own steam and bring them along. Overall about 12% of riders have been children or young people.
