NYC DOT is pleased to announce the newest release of Cycling in the City, an annualized report on cycling trends in New York City. This brief examines data from the New York City Community Health Survey and national surveys, on-going bike counts, and Citi Bike to assess how frequently New Yorkers are using cycling as a mode of transportation and how that frequency is changing over time.
With turning vehicle conflicts combined with the high demand for street space, intersections remain one of the primary design challenges for creating a safe and comfortable bicycle network in New York City. This study aims to evaluate both new and traditional intersection design treatments and provide recommendations on their design and use.
Riding a bike in New York City has never been safer. New York City has installed more than 769 lane-miles of bicycle routes since 2002, and there are now more than 1,100 miles of bike lanes city-wide including parks and greenways.
