The Department holds information on the proportion of people in employment using a bicycle as their usual mode to commute to work by region of residence.

In 2022, 3.6% of people in employment living in England used a bicycle as their usual mode to commute to work. For those in employment who live in one of the Outer London boroughs 3.1% of people used a bicycle as their usual mode to commute to work.

The department does not hold equivalent estimates for individual boroughs or constituencies.
