Economic Benefits of Investment in Cycling Infrastructure

• New York City found that protected bike lanes had a significant positive impact on local business strength. After the construction of a protected bike lane on 9th Avenue, local businesses saw a 49 percent increase in retail sales. In comparison, local businesses throughout Manhattan only saw a 3 percent increase in retail sales.

• Portland State University researchers found that customers who arrive by

bike spend 24% more per month than those who arrive by car. • Traveling by bike encourages more frequent stops than a car. In a study of

Toronto merchants, patrons arriving by foot and bicycle visit the most often and spend the most money per month.
