I don't think they drive/cycle any different down here, but being the smallest, geography wise, of the 3 largest state populations, with 365 days of cycling weather, I would expect the numbers to be higher....

but maybe they do!


I had never considered the 365 weather aspect of it. That surely contributes to the numbers.
