Weekdays see more rides than weekends, with a peak towards the middle of the week. In terms of distance, the average journey appears longer on weekdays, but I suspect the weekend distance data may be skewed lower by the number of circular routes, which record as 0 miles.

As would be expected, the most journies are made in the morning and evening rush hours. Usage does stay high though during the day, falling off overnight. But even in teh very early hours there's an average of over one ride per minute. Average ride distance also follows this pattern, although the longest rides are rather earlier (4:00 to 6:00am) than the main morning rush, and the shortest journeys are actually in the middle of the day.
