Fascinating data from the latest @LBRUT transport committee.
Bear with us, because there's some data.
This is the people who responded to a survey about Barnes High Street 1/...
And this is how they reported normally arriving there.

Note the high levels of walking, which is great.
Considering the distances, it's obviously a disappointment that cycling is only 7%
2/...
So here's where it is quite interesting.
This is 15 minutes' walk from the High Street.
And 15 minutes' cycle from the High Street.
3/...
It's when you look at the map data like this, you realise how actually disappointing the 27% of driven journeys are, because it seems very unlikely that fully a quarter of all shopping trips to Barnes High Street is genuinely doing so much shopping you couldn't use a bike 4/...
Even a ten minute bike journey covers the vast majority of respondents.
Which does seem to say that there's still things we could do to encourage cycling.
