yeah, I take back everything about road/track racing getting people on bikes as transport. I have no idea, I reckon none of us really do. My guess though would be that the majority of commuters don't attend track/road events and that's not why they started riding. And I would wonder how many adults will take up cycling as transport because of Chris Hoy (no matter how lovely he may be). But yep, I have no stats on this.
