More and more people are ditching cars and hopping on bikes. Whether it’s to avoid traffic, go green, or just get some exercise, cycling—both electric and pure muscle power—is blowing up worldwide. Europe’s been ahead of the curve for years with places like Amsterdam and Copenhagen being early adopters. Even France is getting in on the action with incentives for buying bikes and expanding urban cycling networks.
The US on the other hand, has been a bit slow to catch up.
Sure, cities like Portland, Minneapolis, and New York have made some solid moves, but for most urban areas, cycling can still seem like an extreme sport. Thankfully, that’s starting to change. More local governments are realizing that if they want people to bike, they need to make it safer and easier, obviously. And now, new tech is stepping in to help figure out exactly where those changes should happen.
