What it Means to be Bike Friendly
More than 140 million Americans make biking part of their daily lives. Bicycling in the United States alone is a $6 billion a year industry and one study estimates that the spillover effects of recreational bicycling could be as large as $133 billion.
But that’s just the beginning, barely scratching the surface of the environmental and economic impact of transportation bicycling in communities across North America -- while saving billions of pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, countless lives and billions in mortality and health care costs every year
