Census Bureau Says Bicycle Commuting is on the Rise

bicycleHow did you get to work today? If you drove, took the train or the bus, you’re in the majority. And even if you arrived at the office via bicycle, you’re not alone.

According to a report released yesterday from the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of Americans who pedal their way to work increased by 60 percent since 2000.

One reason for the spike? Bike lanes and bike sharing programs.
