“After the 2012 Olympics and the 2014 Tour de France coming to Essex, we
saw a massive increase in cycling from that legacy, and our cycling club
doubled in membership. But it’s not a coincidence that since that
initial wave – and again, with the beginning of the pandemic – those
numbers have tailed off. And again, I think it’s that fear factor.”

Note that official figures show that cycling peaked at 15bn miles in
1950, then by 1969 had fallen by 80%, never to recover -
notwithstanding 'the 2012 Olympics and the 2014 Tour de France coming to
Essex'.
