Bicycling and Public Transport: Perfect Together?
•Synergies:•Cycling extends catchment areas of transit stops far beyond walking range•Much cheaper than park and ride for cars•Transit complements cycling by overcoming long distances, physical barriers, bad weather
•Rivalries and conflicts:•Limited space on crowded peak hour transit vehicles•Cycling substitutes for public transport over short distances
•Most studies find mutually beneficial overall, but much more research needed

Types of Bike-Transit Integration
• Bike parking at rail stations and bus stops• Multi-functional, full service bike stations• Bike racks on buses• Bikes on board vehicles, usually on rail
vehicles, often with special provisions• Bike paths, lanes, and on-street bike routes that
lead to public transit stations and thus facilitate bike’s role as feeder to transit

Growth in Bike-Transit Trips
• Washington Metrorail: 60% growth in bike and ride from 2002 to 2007
• Minneapolis: doubling in bikes on buses from 2007 to 2008
• SF Bay Area: Bike access trips to BART stations rose from 2.5% in 1998 to 3.5% in 2008 (10,920 trips per day)
• More research needed on impacts of bike-transit integration

Conclusions• Vast improvement in bike transit integration
in North America since 2000• Future growth in cycling will require even
further investments in the coming years• Bike and ride is much cheaper than park
and ride and more environmentally friendly
