The proportion edged up one percentage point from the previous survey, conducted two years earlier. However, alone in the capital, that ratio climbed six percentage points to 57%.

About 16% of Hungarians said cycling is their primary means of getting around on a day-to-day basis. About 40% said the car is their primary transport, 26% use public transport to go places and 14% walk.

The ratio of Hungarians who get around mainly by bicycle varies from region to region, ranging from 6% in the capital to 35% in the Southern Great Plain region. About 63% of Hungarians own their own bicycle, and 43% estimated their bicycle was worth between HUF 50,000 and HUF 100,000.

The survey suggested that preconceptions about cyclistsʼ limited understanding of the rules of the road may be unwarranted: 30% of Hungarians who cycle at least once a week have their driverʼs license, compared to 28% for the general population.
