Building and supporting a cycling community in the suburbs

Building and supporting a cycling community in the suburbs

Getting people on bikes for transportation has a variety of benefits: it can help bridge the gap to rapid transit, enable lower income residents to make more trips without needing to pay transit fares, or provide a few minutes of exercise. Providing safe, separated cycling infrastructure helps remove barriers to cycling, opening the door to more people of different ages, abilities and backgrounds to cycle for transportation. Build it, and they will come.
