Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center - Bikeability Checklist

In communities across the world, there is a growing need and responsibility to provide options that give people the opportunity to bike—to bike more often, to bike to more places, and to feel safe while doing so. The benefits of riding a bicycle-whether for utilitarian or recreational purposes—can be expressed in terms of improved environmental and personal health, reduced traffic congestion, enhanced quality of life, economic rewards, as well as others. This section provides an overview on why it is important to bike and what we can do to make it easier to bike more often.

How bikeable is your community? The Bikeability Checklist can help you find the answer. Inside you'll find insightful questions, allowing you to evaluate your neighborhood's bikeability. In addition to the questions, the Checklist provides both immediate answers and long-term solutions to your neighborhood's potential problems.
