If you build lanes, bike riders will come

Our Philadelphia Bicycle News Blog reported last week that early data shows significant increases on Philly's new bike lanes. The new Spruce/Pine St. lanes are the first bike lanes running East/West through Center City.

This increase, although still early, seems to show that new bicycle facilities--by making biking in the city safer and easier-- increase the amount of people willing to give bicycling a try as a mode of transportation. In other words: if you build lanes, bike riders will come.
