The map geeks at the Toronto star have outdone themselves with this google map of Commuter cyclists by census tract (a small area as defined by Statistics Canada's census). It shows the breakdown of how people commute who live in that area. The census tracts with red boundaries are over 10%.
Us bloggers and readers have expressed some frustration that we don't have better numbers to reflect the number of cyclists that commute by bike across Toronto. We're certain that the numbers in Metro Toronto are higher than the edge of Scarborough. Well, I can now give a qualified confirmation of the anecdotal evidence. "Active transportation" is much higher in the "SOB" region (that's South of Bloor, folks).
The 2006 census figures just released show that 1% of people in the Greater Toronto Area get to work by bike.
