How many bikes do you reckon were sold in the UK last year then?

When did btw begin?

1999

Congestion charge introduced on February 17th 2003. That quite a hike in sales- works out as an extra 62%. Phenomenal really…

The answer is always 42 🙂

We need to see this data broken out by wheel size

You sure? That was when the finance act was past that made the scheme possible. Business is unlikely to have made substantial use of the new tax laws for quite a while after that date.

There are about 400,000 schemes annually btw or about the same amount as the step change noted in the chart.

If sales have gone up and bikes are more popular has bike theft gone right up as well ?????
