All that commuting takes its toll on the average ride distance, though, with Londoners recording 25.9km on each ride on average, while the bike-mad residents of Amsterdam travel nearly 45km each time they go out on their bikes and people from Milan average over 50km.

Heatmaps have also been collated of the most popular roads to cycle and run in each of the 12 target cities around the world. Unsurprisingly in London, Regent’s Park and Richmond Park feature heavily, as does the Victoria Embankment on the north side of the River Thames.
