Cycling is the best form of transportation within a city. It reduces traffic and pollution, improves businesses, and promotes healthy lifestyles. But cycling accounts only for 1% of all trips in the US, and Canada is not much better. The single biggest factor for this is safety. A safe network of protected bicycle lanes is the best way to get people of all ages and backgrounds to cycle for everyday purposes. ➜ Follow Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flurfdesign/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/flurfdesign TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@flurfdesign ➜ References & Further Reading: Micromobility is the future of urban transportation https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/focus/future-of-mobility/micro-mobility-is-the-future-of-urban-transportation.html Commute mode share in the US https://www.bts.gov/browse-statistical-products-and-data/state-transportation-statistics/commute-mode Vehicle trips by distance https://nhts.ornl.gov/vehicle-trips Netherlands cycling facts https://english.kimnet.nl/publications/publications/2024/01/10/cycling-facts-2023 15-minute city https://whatif.sonycsl.it/15mincity/15mincity.php Waze Driver Satisfaction Index https://web.archive.org/web/20180313015949/https://inbox-static.waze.com/driverindex.pdf Bikeability and the induced demand for cycling https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2220515120 Bicycle Commuting and Facilities in Major U.S. Cities: If You Build Them, Commuters Will Use Them https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3141/1828-14 If You Build Them, Commuters Will Use Them: Association Between Bicycle Facilities and Bicycle Commuting https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.3141/1578-10 Provisional COVID-19 infrastructure induces large, rapid increases in cycling https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2024399118 Bikeway Networks: A Review of Effects on Cycling https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01441647.2015.1069908 Infrastructure, programs, and policies to increase bicycling: An international review https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0091743509004344 Analysing the causal effect of London cycle superhighways on traffic congestion https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.08993 Why Canadians cycle more than Americans: A comparative analysis of bicycling trends and policies https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0967070X05001381 City of Toronto Cycling Study https://www.toronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/8f76-2019-Cycling-Public-Option-Survey-City-of-Toronto-Cycling.pdf Toronto cycling commute mode share 2021 census data https://censusmapper.ca/maps/4754#12/43.6977/-79.4222 Bike Share Growth in Toronto https://schoolofcities.github.io/bike-share-toronto/growth Do Bike Lanes increase EMS response times? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcsWmI1MIA0&t=75s https://x.com/grescoe/status/1850276875781710003 Bike lanes provide positive economic impact https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200422151318.htm Measuring the Local Economic Impacts of Replacing On-Street Parking With Bike Lanes https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01944363.2019.1638816 Measuring the Street: New Metrics for 21st Century Streets https://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/2012-10-measuring-the-street.pdf Bloor Street Bike Lane Economic Impact Studies https://tcat.ca/resources/bloor-street-economic-impact-studies/ Bike Lanes, On-Street Parking and Business https://tcat.ca/resources/bike-lanes-on-street-parking-and-business-parkdale-danforth/ The Traffic Calming Effect of Delineated Bicycle Lanes https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667091724000013 Cycling Injury Risk in London: Impacts of Road Characteristics and Infrastructure https://www.researchgate.net/publication/347631477_Cycling_Injury_Risk_in_London_Impacts_of_Road_Characteristics_and_Infrastructure ➜ Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 1:33 Cycling can work in North America 3:17 Bike lanes don't make traffic worse 6:17 Parking double standards 7:12 Bike lanes benefit businesses 8:25 Cycling can be practical too 10:07 "No one uses the bike lane" 11:43 Bike lanes need networks to work 13:54 Side street bike lanes? 14:33 Bike lane design for safety 16:25 Intersection design 18:22 Minor street design 19:26 It's not just about bike lanes 20:33 Bike lanes benefit everyone - flurfdesign #bikelanes #cycling #urbanplanning
