Bike Facilities Increase Commuting By Bicycle
Results of a recently completed study by the University of Minnesota suggest that constructing bicycle facilities increases bicycle commuting.
According to Charles Pekow, a Washington, DC writer and bicyclist, 168 urban bicyclists were asked to estimate the time they would spend riding a route based on the bicycle facilities offered on the route. Regardless whether the bike facility was a striped, on street bike lane or a paved, off street bike path, the results indicated that cyclists were willing to spend more time commuting by bicycle on routes that included bike facilities.
