Cycling levels have stagnated for years in Copenhagen. Hovering between 35% and 38%.
Falling from 37% to 35% after intense helmet promotion.
Now there are new numbers from the Danish Technical University's Travel Survey.
Between 2012 and 2013, the modal share for bicycles (people arriving at work or education in the City of Copenhagen) exploded from 36% to 41%.
Forty-one percent. A leap of 5%.
The car's modal share fell from 27% to 24%.
But wait, there's more. The average trip length in Copenhagen rose 35% from 3.2 km to 4.2 km between 2012 and 2013. That means that the oft-quoted statistic about how Copenhageners cycle 1.2 million km a day need to be upgraded to 2,006,313 km per day.
Since 1990, by the way, the number of cyclists has risen 70% in Copenhagen. The number of car trips into the city centre has fallen from 350,000 to 260,000.
