Bike Commuting: Still on the Rise
New numbers from the League of American Bicyclists show that if you build the lanes, cyclists will come.
The latest analysis of Census data from the American League of Bicyclists tells us which cities are cycling to work the most.
In sheer numbers, the places with the most bike commuters reflect population, as well as decades of dedicated investment in cycling infrastructure in smaller cities like Portland, Seattle, and Minneapolis. It’s also important to remember that mega-cities like New York City and Los Angeles have been steadily funding things like dedicated lanes, bike-share programs and street improvements that make biking a little easier, contributing to their ramped-up numbers.
