How often do you cycle? And what would get you cycling more?
A survey by the charity Sustrans, which looks after main cycling routes across the UK, found 8% of girls and 17% of boys say they cycle often.
The poll of 1,089 UK children aged between 6 and 15 was done by research company YouGov on behalf of Sustrans.
They found around half of those questioned wanted to cycle more.

The poll found 78% of children were in favour of more cycle paths along roads separated from cars.
More than three out of four (76%) said they would support stopping cars parking on pavements.
And 66% said they support stopping cars from using roads outside schools during drop-off and pick-up times.
What can be learned from cycling in the Netherlands?
A Department for Transport spokesperson said: "Everyone should be able to travel how they choose, which is why this Government more than doubled funding for active travel for the coming year."
"Local authorities are responsible for designing cycle paths and we work closely with Active Travel England (ATE) to support them in making sure people of all ages can feel confident and safe cycling."
