Bicycle Cities

Biking is a popular -& green!- way to travel. Yet if there is nowhere to lock up your bike, people may be discouraged to use their bike to get around. Did you know that you can Request a new bike rack in your area? Cities all over the U.S. have multiple types of bike racks they can install and all you have to do is submit a request. Where would you like to encourage people to use bikes instead of cars? CLICK HERE to learn about bicycling in Chicago.

Comments

You final design doesn't show any skateparks or off-leash dog parks. Did you decide that there was a sufficient amount of them in Las Vegas based on this data? Would love to hear you explain how you interpreted this information!
