Cycling - Key trendsThe trends in cycling are summarised below.
Cordon Count DataDoncaster Council carries out annual counts of all vehicles, including cycles, entering Doncaster in March each year. Whilst the one day 12 hour manual counts are subject to variation, the overall trend since the turn of the century shows an annual increase in cycle usage. Cycle usage (as measured through annual cordon counts) declined during the 1990’s but since the turn of the century has grown on average at 2-3% per year or 57% between 2002 and 2012. It has fluctuated up and down a little since then.
