After reaching 17,1% in 18-39-year-olds, female cyclists declined to a low of 12,3% between the ages of 40 and 59. The figures of male cyclists fell from 9,7% to 8% in the 18 to 39 and 40 to 59 year-olds, respectively. Conversely, there was a slight rise in those over 60 who rode bicycles, reaching 18,5% for women compared with around 13,2% for men.
