Niamh Rabbit from Research in the City, writes:
The graph above is based on the 792 people (workers/students and based in Dublin) who chose cycling as a realistic way they could travel to work/college. They’re people who consider themselves healthy and fit enough to cycle on a regular basis.
Of the 792 people polled:
453 hadn’t cycled at all in the previous two weeks. They had an average happiness level of 14.2/25
98 people had cycled 1 – 9 times in the previous two weeks. They had an average happiness level of 13.9/25
241 people cycled more than 10 times in the previous two weeks. They had an average happiness level of 15.5/25

Puerto Rican artist Alexis Diaz spent the last week applying thousands of tiny brushstrokes to create this unholy meld of elephant and octopus on Hanbury Street off Brick Lane in London.
It is somewhat awesome.
