Governments should spend more money on education than on recreation and sports. Do you agree or disagree?

The first chart shows the reasons why some people in 
the UK prefer to cycle to work. Conversely, the second 
chart gives reasons for those who choose to go to work 
by car. 
The highest percentage of those who favour cycling 
say that this is because riding a bicycle to work is 
healthier than driving. 30% of them gave this as a 
reason. The same amount of people, 30% say that 
they cycle to work because it causes less pollution. 
13% of people cycle to work because it is cheaper than 
driving. Surprisingly, a similar amount of people said 
that they cycled to work because it is faster than 
travelling by car. 
In contrast to this, the percentage who prefer to travel 
by car because it is more comfortable is 40%. The two 
least important reasons for going to work by car, with 
14% and 11% respectively, is that people need to carry 
things to work and that it is safer than cycling to work. 
Finally, 16% say they prefer driving because it is faster 
than cycling. This contrasts with the cyclists who ride 
to work because it is faster than driving. 
In general, it seems that the majority of people who 
cycle to work do this for health and environmental 
reasons. By contrast, those who travel by car want to 
have a more comfortable journey over longer 
distances
