Cycle commuters to be counted
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The 2011 Census, which takes place on 27 March, will find out how many more people cycle to work.
The last census in 2001 showed that 650,000 people in England and Wales used a bike as their main means of travel to work. With cycle sales nearing £850m, the new figure is likely to be much higher.
The last census showed that 476,010 men cycled to work, compared with 174,967 women; 13,050,529 people drove to work; and a further 1,477,211 people commuted as passengers.
