I think that is the case... this is a chart of daytime lengths for Birmingham UK from www.timeanddate.com/sun/uk/birmi... which looks to be symmetrical around the longest day. It reminds me that the most annoying thing I find about the clocks changing is quite how late the change in March is...

February is the BEST in terms of how the days get longer as a proportion of the actual length of day.We gain more minutes per day in March, but the days are longer then anyway so who cares...

(Sorry for the terrible graph)

I picked a graph from the last survey before 2020 when obviously the statistics went mad. Here's 2019 - 2023 if you think that helps your argument.

The primary driver is whatnow?

Often new houses are too far away to walk anywhere, have no public transport and no cycling infra, so people effectively have to drive if they want to go anywhere at all.

Absolutely make more public transport. But cycling is cheaper, and cars get in the way of both.

Halfords and Sustrans in the UK did some research recently; I can get behind all of these!

I love this term. A ridiculous example around here; a *shared path* over a bridge is very narrow, and has a barrier like this making it even narrower. You can't pass on foot, let alone by bike.

What really gets my goat is that the other side of the road is much wider, but is totally unused.

I think this from Cannock Chase is a good contender;

I have soooo many photos I've taken while commuting by bike over the years; I have precisely none that I've taken while commuting by car, often to the same places...

Glyder Fawr on a super sunny day. I do love a good mountain, either on foot or by bike.

A bike on Cannock Chase at sunrise; I've moved away now but I had the best commute in the world.
