I’m not an enemy of the cause, but this graphic is not very convincing. These are absolute numbers, not adjusted for the fact there are significantly more cars around than bikes.

At least here are some numbers ec.europa.eu/eurostat/…/index.php?title=File%3ATr…

Travel distance per person per day by main travel mode for urban
