North America doesn’t have the best reputation for walkability and transit, but its biggest deficiency is arguably in cycling. We’ve inherited a lot of fundamentally walkable neighbourhoods and even built some decent rapid transit systems in the past 50 years, but progress on bike culture and infrastructure has been slower and more piecemeal, especially cycling for transportation as opposed to recreation or exercise. But exactly how high do rates of cycling go, and what do the more bike-friendly neighbourhoods look like? In this video we’re going to look at the top 10 zip codes for bike commuting in the United States, setting aside Canada for the moment because the data isn’t quite comparable.
