109 Notes

'Biking to work nearly doubles over 5 years in the (Chicago) region'

It’s happening, folks.

thegreenurbanist:

“Between 2006 and 2010, the number of people who biked to work in metropolitan Chicago increased substantially, according to new survey data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Region wide, bike commuting increased 89 percent, with the largest percentage increases in the counties of Kendall (172 percent), Kane (138 percent), Lake (114 percent) and Cook (98 percent). Eighty percent of the bike commute trips are in Cook County.”

Wow, those are some big numbers.

    That is an awesome thing. Sometimes I wished I lived somewhere I could do that, but alas, it would be quite impractical...

  10. stevevance said: Grr, data from 2006 is only a 1-year estimate with enormous margins of error. If you look at Kane for 2006, you see 0.7% of people 16+ biked to work, with a margin of error of ±0.4 (percentage points). That’s saying the data could be 0.3% or 1.1%.
