Just a quick follow up on this. The Herald had an article about running and cycling patterns with users of a Runkeeper app.

Can't seem to link images directly as it is an interactive website.

Maybe users of the app are more fair weather cyclists, but the drop off is pretty massive for half the year. It looks more like 5-15% (85-95% drop). Certainly could be too small of a sample but removing a full lane of traffic year round still seems a little crazy to me.
