Surprisingly, a similar amount of people said that they cycled to work because it is faster than travelling by car. • In contrast to this, the percentage who prefer to travel by car because it is more comfortable is 40%. The two least important reasons for going to work by car, with 14% and 11% respectively, is that people need to carry things to work and that it is safer than cycling to work.

By contrast, those who travel by car want to have a more comfortable journey over longer distances.
