I'm not clever at all, I just don't take to lies very well.

Where do you get 3 million cyclists from? According the LSE, there were 13 million cyclists in the UK in 2010, with 34% of adults owning a bike.
The fact that there's 13 million cyclists - not the 3 million you've suggested - means that your figures are blown out of the water.

I could say you kicked off with the manners bit, but we'll just stick to the facts shall we ?
What do you think the lie is? I gave earlier a link to the source User used - a study carried out by the London School of Economics. You asked how the figures were arrived at and I gave you an accurate answer - a survey carried out by GfK NOP, one of the big firms in market surveys and opinion polling. So please point out what the lie was was or apologise for your false accusations please.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
No - it's a very sensible question.
The answer "From a survey carried out by GfK NOP" omits two important facts:
(a) What specifically was the question that people were asked?
(b) Who commissioned the research?

We had a local survey in Cambridge posted a while ago the question was " Why don,t you ride a bike ?" Unfortunately "because I'm too lazy" wasn't one of the multiple choice answers 
One wonders if it had been, how many would have been honest enough to admit that was the fact.
Only the very stoopid and those with an agenda rely on statistics.

Yeah, and it's always just a load of rubbish or pictures of cats - frankly it's making a mockery of those of us who try to contribute with meaningful comment and compelling argument.

Do you mind ? I believe my studies so far to be very accurate
Ive just conducted another one.
In our village their are 127 residents, 3 ride a bike. My mate and his 2 sons ride one too, but they are outside the village limit, do I include them too ? hmm.
I suppose it depends on what i'm trying to prove
