Official figures reveal the bike is in fact becoming the transport

Didn't the late Medway Highwayman used to say that cyclists were "considerably richer than yow"?

That phrase was introduced here by me, as a reference from the
Harry Enfield character, after a spate of cyclists claiming that they
were rich.

The character portrayed was a boorish, under-educated, arriviste yob who
thought he was better than everyone else he met. So as you will no doubt
agree, it fits very well in this context.
