“The number one thing [tech companies] want is bike lanes.
Ten years ago we never would have thought that walkability
or bike lanes would be economic development tools”

“It is much more cost-feasible for me to [enhance the core
city] with protected bike lanes, than it is for me to go way out
somewhere, put in sewers, street lights, and all this stuff.
[Cycling] bodes well for our citizens and their health … but it
also bodes well for the finances of the city.”

Considering door-to-door trips and the time it takes to park a car or wait for a bus, cycling is indeed quite fast, especially over short distances up to 5 miles.
There is a money value to time and in classic transport project appraisals, time savings deliver the bulk of benefits.
And so it is important to remember that in urban centres, and especially at peak periods, bicycles are nearly as fast or faster than cars or public transport for short trips.
For example;

Because cycling is not affected by congestion, it’s surprisingly fast compared to taking the car. The department of transport says: “Data from the 2006 Census reveals that, for journeys within the Dublin Canal Ring, cyclists reached an average speed of 12km/h compared to just 15km/h for cars. For trips within the M50, the 2006 Census reveals an average speed for cyclists of 14km/h compared to 18km/h for cars.”

The evidence is robust and convergent: Cyclists spend less per hour and per trip but they return more often – much more often. Because of this, over time, cyclists spend as much or more than motorists.

Même son de cloche pour les finances publiques. Face un choix compliqué que tout Maire connait – ou investir pour assurer la croissance de la ville – Beaucoup comme Maire Rahm à Chicago, ex-Maire Bloomberg à New York, Maire Li a San Francisico ou Maire Wharton à Memphis ont fait le choix de réhabiliter leur villes à coup de pistes et de bandes cyclables. Non seulement pour leurs habitants mais aussi pour les finances de leurs villes.

So more cyclists are better … but recalling crash risks, more cyclists also increase crash numbers. Here I will talk about the safety in numbers hypothesis based on the observation that greater number of cyclists are associated with a drop in the crash rate.
There are many plausible explanations for this observed phenomenon but limited evidence on causality.
This is essential since a key question remains …. Does increasing cycling increase crashes?

It could also be that there are more safe cyclists where safety-enhancing infrastructures and policies have been put into place.

Will need to improve the perception of safety for those not yet cycling and you will definitely have to ensure that real safety improves as well if you want to keep them cycling.

There is a temptation to install cycle tracks where it would be easy and cheap to do so. This temptation should be avoided. Cycle tracks should be built where they are necessary which is often where it is difficult and controversial.
The cycling infrastructure should be direct, logical, comfortble and convenient otherwise existing cyclists may avoid them and potential new cyclists will notbike at all.

Quand on parle qulte de vie, on pense au cadre de vies des habitants. Mais ces habitants travaillent et forment des exigences par rapport a leur environnement de vie et de travail. Ces exigences ne passent pas inapercus des entreprises et des villes qui cherchent a attirer des habitants, des travailleurs dans des secteurs de pointe et des entreprises. On peut voir que le cadre de vie, le vélo en faisant partie intégrale
