Spanish women lead the world in commuting to work by bicycle

Strava is already publishing the first data from its huge 'Year in Sport' study, where it puts many of the data collected by the popular social network during 2022 under a magnifying glass. As a novelty, they have not only focused on drawing conclusions in sports, They have also provided some data on mobility and in this sector, Spanish women stand out.

They are the ones who lead the world in commuting to work by bicycle and in some cities, the growth has been exponential. 65% of the people who go to work by bike in Barcelona are women, which places the Barcelona udder first in the world ranking, ahead of cities with a cycling tradition such as London, New York, Paris, Berlin or Tokyo.

In addition, in Barcelona the number of women who have cycled to work in 2022 has grown by 81% compared to pre-pandemic data. An increase that stands out above any other area.

The commitment that is being made to urban cycling in Barcelona is very high and it is data like these that indicate that the increase in infrastructure is beginning to bear fruit. Barcelona travels by bike and women lead the pack in this metropolis.
