Map: Economic Impacts of Bicycling

All eyes were on the economy in 2009 when the League released its report on The Economic Benefits of Bicycle Infrastructure Investments. In the three years since there’s been a steady stream of research confirming the positive impact bicycling has on business districts, jobs, and household savings. To capture this growing body of evidence, Darren Flusche, League Policy Director, has updated the report with a wealth of new data and information.

    Please include in this study not just bicycle related spending but gasoline related spending that DOES NOT occur and thus is spent locally.

    It helps to foster economic stability of cyclists that our day to day budgets are not beholden to wildly unstable petroleum costs.
    Oh and it has vast public health benefits.
