PeopleForBikes works to improve all types of bicycling, with a steady focus on both recreational and transportation-oriented riding.

In sum, PeopleForBikes invested more than $5 million in 2019 to develop complete networks, safer infrastructure, bike parks and trails of all kinds in U.S. cities and towns. We produced and distributed ratings for more than 500 U.S. cities--scores that benefited from reviews provided by local bike riders, spending and planning summaries provided by city staffers, plus statistics and government data derived from a broad mix of credible sources.

The PeopleForBikes City Ratings methodology is now being applied in Canada. Our BNA methodology and maps have been exported to Canada, Australia and (soon) to other nations. Our ratings are data-driven--based on safety statistics, participation counts, bike network evaluations (BNA), plus reports provided by cities on future plans and investments. We also grade cities for their success in providing low-stress bike riding opportunities to residents of all neighborhoods citywide.

In 2019, we distributed $200,000 in cash grants to local non-profit partners to support bicycle network implementation in 10 Big Jump cities.

We hosted 100 U.S. city leaders on study tours to cities that stand as outstanding international and domestic examples of great cycling experiences and programs. We launched our new PlacesForBikes Workshops, reaching 450 city leaders across eight U.S. cities.
