Is anyone saying that the entire population is able to cycle, or are people saying the numbers are higher than one might think? Appropriate attire may not help everyone but it could help those that live closer to the core and do not have to drop off kids at daycare or use a private automobile during the day. If that number is not 100%, is that a failure?
When answering that question, considering for how many people driving is not an option (e.g. children, the elderly, the disabled or people who cannot afford it).
