WALKING AND CYCLING
In 2009, the proportion of people who usually walked to their place of work or full-time study was 4%, and 2% of people who usually travel to work or full-time study cycled as their main form of transport (table 4.3).
Proximity of home to place of work or full-time study (64%) and exercise and health (50%) were the two most common reasons reported by people who usually walked or cycled to work or full-time study. Only 7% of people who usually walked or cycled to work or full-time study reported concern for the environment as a reason for doing so (table 4.15).
Distance was by far the most commonly reported reason why people did not usually walk (71%) or cycle (45%) to their place of work or full-time study. This was true for all age groups (table 4.16 and table 4.17).
