Although some areas have invested greatly in cycling infrastructure and many areas have considerable local interest.

The current bicycle "boom" ended with a reduction in cycling sales in 2012-2013. I've read that usage has declined by something like 20%. I'd guess that the latest boom was caused by the health minded boomers.... who are now aging past the cycling sport.... hence the decline.
