Travel by other ?

I've just got bogged down browsing at the Neighbourhood Statistics
site at

http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/

Among other things it told me that in my local output area 3 of the
186 workers usually travelled by bike, but three travelled by other.

It gave as the meaning of other :

All people aged 16 to 74 in employment, and usually resident in the
area at the time of the 2001 Census, whose main method of travel to
work was 'other'. 'Other' includes all methods of travel to work other
than Underground, Metro, Light rail, Tram, Train, Bus, Mini bus,
Coach, Motorcycle, Moped, Scooter, Driving a car or van, Passenger in
a car or van, Taxi or minicab, Bicycle or 'on foot'. It also excludes
working at home, no fixed place of work, working at an offshore
installation or working outside the UK. Where more than one method of
travel was used, the main method was determined as the longest
distance.

Can the team suggest what other might include ?

Other than elephants, horses (and variants) and tricycles I am
struggling. Would rollerblades be "on foot" or other ?

Ones I can reasonably fore-see using:

Helicopter. Aeroplane. Swimming. Cablecar. Sleigh. Skiing.
Any cart or trap.

You've already got riding any animal.

In Hong Kong they have a public transport system of escalators and
moving walkways, up from Central to the Midlevels. I'm assuming your
local census area is not Hong Kong, but a similar system could be
built elsewhere. This might he 'on foot', but by that definition most
Underground travel is much more 'on foot'.

But in a box-ticking exercise, it might for example include people
who use different means and didn't want to tick one box. Like those
who drive when carrying a computer but otherwise cycle.
