This new study definitively shows that creating more safe bike lanes significantly enhances cyclist ridership. In D.C., protected bike lanes saw a staggering 726% increase in use.
The research indicates that in D.C. only 10% of streets have bike lanes, yet they account for 40% of bike trips, highlighting a strong demand for better infrastructure.
Bloomington’s findings mirrored D.C., where streets with newly constructed bike lanes experienced a 100% increase in trips, proving that investment in cycling infrastructure pays off.
The evidence is clear: when cities invest in safe bike lanes, cyclists are not only more likely to ride, but they also do so more safely.
