I reckon you could get a multi-hump speed distribution, and work out
which peak was walking, cycling and driving (although detecting
cyclists weaving past stationary traffic would be tricky!) Massive
amounts of open data will eventually find their way into the hands of
someone very clever, and they'll figure it out I'm sure.
