Bad Science: Morning Ride Poll

Written by Boston Biker on Feb 23

I know this is not statistically or scientifically valid, but on my morning ride in I like to poll the other cyclists I see.

Today I saw the following (all numbers estimates):

about 30-40 cyclists (high for a day like today)
95% wore a helmet
60% ladies
40% gents
30% single speeds
70% geared bikes

I am excited to see so many ladies out riding, I feel like there has been a giant increase in both the amount of people riding and the quality of their riding. Many more people are following the law, riding in a normal manner, and the increase in the number of lady cyclists tells me that the city is starting to feel more bike friendly (ladies tend to have better common sense and take less risks).

What was your morning commute like?
