Bike Ridership - Edmonton Insight Community, dataset nhbh-yj57: dataset page and response distributions

What this source can establish

The City's August 2014 bike ridership survey, how it was recruited and what its 816 respondents answered: 327 chose 'Never ride a bike' for spring, summer and fall, and 715 chose it for winter. It establishes what an opt-in panel of 646 Insight Community members plus 170 anonymous-link respondents said. It establishes nothing about the population of Edmonton, because the sample was self-selected.

The archived copy this hash identifies, retrieved 2026-09-04, was lost on or before 2026-10-02. The recorded hash is unchanged. The same URL was fetched again on 2026-10-02 and registered as YF-EV-0326. The fresh copy's bytes differ from the recorded hash; the source may have changed since 2026-09-04, or the publisher may serve different bytes on each request. Either way, the published claims still cite this entry. Audit record: https://yegfacts.ca/methodology/audits/archive-loss-2026-10-02

Verify independently

Fetch the original and hash it: if the bytes still match the SHA-256 above, you have the same document we read. We no longer hold the copy we read on 2026-09-04, so we cannot verify against it if the page has changed. The audit record says what still supports each finding that cites this source.
