Results
The results of the survey show that 6.4% of Latvia's population cycle each or almost every day, but 19.8% at least once a week. Most often, cycling occurs in Pierīga, but the least in Latgale. With harsher weather, the number of cyclists is reduced by 25%.
Latvia contains a total of 727.76 km of different infrastructure for cycling. In the development of cycling, the economic benefits are estimated at several million euros. A significant aspect of development is to integrate cycling into the common transport system.
