My point exactly. Those claiming to speak about the facts are using incomplete, insufficient data upon which these experts spout their ‘conclusions’.

My generalisation about commuting and pastime is based upon my personal perception, which you claim is based upon the societal perspective, driven by your experts?

So if you wish to challenge it, it is for you to fund your own research.

No, that's not how it works. You made a specific claim, so it's up to you to support it with evidence - else admit that you just made it up, like you just did! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Again, you ignore the flaw in your argument. I stand by my assertion based upon what I see. Prove me wrong, oh that’s right you can’t can you.

That's what I originally pointed out: the data just isn't there to support or reject your claim!

But from the data we do have, I think most people would conclude it seems improbable (but not impossible) that your claim is true because it would mean no more than roughly a third of cyclists go out for other so-called "leisure" purposes by bike: visiting friends, going to the cinema, getting food...

You can cling to your anecdote all you want, but it doesn't prove your claim!

Clearly your argument has run aground, your just talking complete rubbish now. Yet again on these forum, proof we’re it needed that a high post count is no indication of subject knowledge.
