Summary

Last updated: 21st November 2020

🚲

A mish-mash of various data visualisation and analysis of City of Edinburgh's cycle hire statistics. I'll add to this as I go.

Downloading data

Run read_JSON_and_save_locally.R to download a local version of the data before running the plotting scripts. At time of writing, the resulting csv file is ~90MB.

Ideas

Will add to this list as I go. Suggestions welcome!

  • Station heatmap usage
  • Network diagram showing flow
  • Do people go uphill or downhill?
  • How has overall usage changed year on year?
  • Number of trips as a function of distance between stations

Scripts table
