Not to pick on the original post, but one of my all-time biggest data pet peeves is map diagrams that aren't normalized by population/some kind of denominator. They all end up as slightly janky population maps with weird anomalies that only make sense if you know the true denominator anyway.

To your point, Kew Gardens and Richmond Park both show up with blank hexagons on the map. But Kew Gardens doesn't allow bike traffic while Richmond Park is full of bikes.

Side note: As someone who lives by Richmond Park and visits often, I wouldn't be surprised if there are more bike vs. deer accidents than bike vs. car accidents.

Of course, there is a relevant XKCD
