Bikes / household statistic?
Does anyone know where I can find either a bicycle/capita or bicycle/household statistic for either the USA or Canada?

I don't know but I can guess that with fuel prices and the recent popularity of cycling the statistics are changing everyday!

well i think bikes per capita is probably 1 per person, maybe more.
bikes that are actually USED..... 1 per every 30 people or less

I'm a one man household and have 5. Pared it down from 12 to 4 in the year 2002, but had to get another. At least one gets used EVERY DAY. I've rolled two of them today.

I am not sure where to get such statistics. My household has 5 bikes right now and 2 riders. 4 of them are mine, though I am trying to shrink my stable now.

In the age of google there exists no excuse for not finding useful (and trustworthy...!) statistics.
