Key Findings
About This Dataset
Countries by Cycling Commuter Share 2024The Netherlands continues to lead the world in cycling commuter share, with a significant 27%, reflecting its extensive cycling infrastructure and cultural emphasis on biking. Denmark follows, but with a notable gap at 18%, suggesting that while cycling is popular, it may not be as deeply ingrained in daily life as in the Netherlands. The drop-off continues sharply with Germany at 11% and Belgium at 9%, indicating that these countries may still be developing their cycling infrastructure and culture. Countries like Japan and Switzerland, with shares of 6% and 5% respectively, illustrate that even in developed nations, cycling has not yet become a primary mode of transport for the majority of commuters. This trend suggests potential areas for growth in urban planning and public policy aimed at promoting cycling.
