People often hold up cycling success stories like Copenhagen or Amsterdam to argue for more bike infrastructure here in North America. That's great, and there's a lot we can learn from those places, but they're also easier for people to dismiss as irrelevant because they seem so unrelatable—"maybe cycling works there, but we have a different culture, climate, and landscape here in North America".

Fortunately, we also have cycling success stories here in North America too. They're more modest, but they're very real and harder to ignore. In this video we look at how bike commuting grew in Toronto from 1996 to 2016.
