While the number of people commuting by bike in San Antonio has increased over the past six years, so has the number of bike-related deaths and serious injuries, according to 2016 data.
Bicycling, walking and other active transportation methods offer a variety of transportation, economic, environmental, health and social benefits.
To make San Antonio a more bike-friendly city, top priorities include expanding and improving bicycle infrastructure citywide; educating the community about cycling safety to increase awareness and reduce the risk of crashes; and encouraging local businesses and universities to create a welcoming atmosphere for bicycling employees and customers.
Guests:
- Alex Carroll, active transportation planner for the Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization
- Tim Mulry, sustainable transportation manager for the City of San Antonio's Office of Sustainability/SA Bikes Program
