Has Your City Passed the ‘Bikeability Tipping Point’?

When cities hit a certain level of bikeability, they enter a virtuous cycle where more infrastructure inspires more residents to become rider-advocates who, in turn, advocate for more infrastructure.

A whopping 183 American communities achieved a score of 50 or higher on PeopleForBikes annual City Ratings this year... And when a city clears that 50-point threshold, the authors of the ratings say that its local bike culture has firmly taken root — and that every new roadway improvement will inspire more improvements, rather than a fierce fight against a car-dominated status quo.

"Once you've hit 50, your city probably has a pretty good low-stress bike network," said Martina Haggerty, the senior director of local innovation at PeopleForBikes. "[That's] not to say that there aren't still improvements to be made [but it] probably means that more people are riding bikes in those communities because they feel safe and comfortable. And when more people start riding bikes, those people tend to become advocates for better bike infrastructure and for pro-bike policies, which, [in turn,] will get more people riding."
