In Ireland during the 1980s, 50% of kids cycled to school. Now it's 2%. I'm sure there's a qualifier there about urban/suburban/rural; I'll try to dig up the report. I was one of those 1980s kids; the bicycle sheds contained several hundred bikes, all year round. I never heard of any kid being killed on a bike, out of 1,200 students over six years.
