Abstract
Community leaders, key stakeholders, or policymakers need to fully understand the expansive benefits associated with biking to garner support and resources to support bicycling. This chapter examines the wide range of benefits of bicycling. The health and fitness benefits of physical activity and benefits of active transportation and bicycling are discussed. From an interpersonal perspective, the social benefits of cycling are outlined. At a broader level, this chapter examines the influence of bicycling on the environment (i.e., air pollution quality, and congestion/traffic). Lastly, the economic benefits of bicycling are explored, ranging from job creation and benefits to businesses to a cost analysis of infrastructure associated with bicycling.
