Why we should build safe bike lanes in Greenwich:
- It inspires more people to ride bicycles
- New York City found it was able to double the number of people commuting by bicycle in just a few years after introducing a few cycling initiatives including bike lanes.
- It stimulates the local economy
- In Manhattan, streets that had bike lanes put in saw their business increase by nearly 50%.
- It's safer for cyclists
- Accidents happen, but research illustrates that city streets with bike lanes reduce the rate of cyclist injury by 50%. In fact, protected bike lanes - those with barriers dividing cyclists from vehicles - cuts the injury rate by a whopping 90%.
- It‘s safer for motorists
- When bike space is clearly marked by paint, drivers knew how much space to allow and were less than half as likely to subconsciously swerve into another lane of traffic.
- It has a real impact on the environment
- Cycling lowers your carbon footprint by not emitting pollution or burning fossil fuels.
