2.6% of people living in the Los Angles Metropolitan area (which includes Orange County) walked to work, as opposed to .6% who rode a bicycle. Bicyclist do not even come near bus transportation at 4.3% of all trips. Through biking beats out subway and other rail transportation methods, which only .3% of the population use.
