Bike Winnipeg's 2015 Bicycle Count Report is now available here http://bikewinnipeg.ca/2016/01/07/2015-winnipeg-bicycle-counts-report/on our website.
There is strong evidence that even the limited construction of new cycling infrastructure that has occurred since 2009 has had a positive impact on the numbers of cyclists in Winnipeg. This year’s bike counts and analysis suggest that there has been substantial growth in cycling but that this growth has stalled.
In 2015 the City adopted a new pedestrian and cycling strategy with more ambitious goals. If this results in a more substantial investment in cycling infrastructure we can expect to see increased cycling levels in the future.
A big thanks to Bike Winnipeg director Jeremy Hull who organizes the yearly counts and produces this detailed report for us. Thanks as well to the many volunteers who donate their time to undertake the actual counts. This year we had 86 counts at 25 different locations.
Cheers, Mark Cohoe Bike Winnipeg
