Maybe in total numbers but I think you'd have to corrolate that to total world population and filter out bikes being sold in China and India as they become more afluent to get an apples to apples comparison. 6+ billion people in the world today and 2+ billion Chinese and Indians will skew the results if even a small percentage of them start buying bikes as they no doubt are.
