As a scientist, IMO, this is the most misleading way to use statistics.
It probably is misleading but I think just seeing and hearing about people bike commuting has a way of getting more people to do it. It's become a very common means of getting to work in our office when at one time it was just me. It can snowball I guess is what I'm saying.
