Answer: Yes, He bicycled fewer in this week than last week.

Explanation:

Let he bicycled x hours in the last week,

Then, According to the question,


\text{ He bicycled in this week} = (2)/(3) \text{ of the hours he bicycled last week} = (2x)/(3)


\text{ Since, }1 > (2)/(3)


\implies x > (2x)/(3)


\text{ He bicycled in the last week} > \text{ he bicycled in this week}

Hence, He bicycled fewer in this week than last week.
