I thought riding my bike at Lakeside last summer would be a good option because my bursitis hurt too much to walk. On the first day I rode my 1968, no-speed bike to a program, I fell. Actually, I just tipped over and hit a stop sign. That was the end of my biking for summer 2014.
U.S. Bicycling Participation Benchmarking Report
• Thirty-four percent of Americans ages 3+ rode a bicycle at least one day in the past year.
• Of those who rode a bicycle, 30% rode five days or fewer.
• Those who rode for transportation are much more likely to have done so to get to and from social, recreation, or leisure activities (70%) than to have commuted to and from work or school (46%).
• Forty-eight percent of adults in the U.S. don’t have access to an operational bicycle at home.
• Fifty-four percent of adults in the U.S. perceive bicycling as a convenient way to get from one place to another and 53% would like to ride more often. However, 52% worry about being hit by a car and 46% say they would be more likely to ride a bicycle if motor vehicles and bicycles were physically separated.
