The League of American Bicyclists published an infographic containing some data from a recent U.S. Census Report about commuter habits and prevalence of non-traditional transportation methods.
As the League notes on its website, “With increased interest in healthy, sustainable and economic transportation options, it’s not surprising that, from 2000 to 2011, the number of bicycle commuters in the U.S. grew by more than 47 percent.”
The big takeaway: Between 1990 and 2011, bike commuting increased by 98 percent. And while that figure pales in comparison to other cities like Portland, Oregon, where bike commuting has grown by 443 percent over the same time span, at least we’re heading in the right direction.
