Canadian researchers uncover what they think is the real driver of transport demand

A new global study suggests that people everywhere, regardless of country or wealth, spend almost the same amount of time travelling each day — about 78 minutes.

Cyclist killed after crashing into sign blocking bike lane, as family questions why warning to drivers about malfunctioning traffic lights wasn’t placed on ‘no parking’ zone

The cyclist, who had 84mg of alcohol in his system, hit a black sandbag blocking over two-thirds of the cycle lane, described by the family’s barrister during the coroner’s hearing as “difficult to no...

Thinks a tremendous program of bike lane data collection and evaluation. Maybe the best of any city governments in the US.

The latest evaluation of bike lane projects in Boston continues to show that if you build bike infrastructure, people will use it. Full report: www.boston.gov/sites/defaul...

Bicycle counts significantly increased on every corridor where we completed Better Bike Lanes projects in 2024. The number of people biking, and the percentage of all traffic they make up, both saw substantial increases. ▸ We counted over 3,000 more daily bike trips, a 55% increase across all projects. In our prior report on Better Bike Lane projects completed in 2023, we recorded a 44% increase in volume. The latest projects appear to have tapped into even more growth potential by focusing on mostly arterial streets and closing key new network connection gaps. ▸ Bicycles as a share of of all traffic increased to 7% of daily traffic across all projects, nearly doubling from 4% in the baseline condition. Some projects saw bicycle mode share as high as 19% ▸ Boylston Street (Back Bay) topped the list with a near doubling (+83%) of daily bike trips, leading four other corridors that measured growth of nearly 50% or more.

The thing about people who say “I never see anyone biking in [place where people bike], we don’t need bike lanes” is: they don't look. Alas.😬

For all the people who say “I never see anyone biking in Worcester, we don’t need bike lanes” look! LOOK!!! Literally build it and they will come!!
