bicycle equity

Bicycle equity refers to ensuring all individuals, regardless of their socioeconomic status, race, or location, have equal access to bicycles and cycling infrastructure. This includes affordable access to bikes, safe cycling routes, and supportive policies that encourage cycling as a mode of transportation. The goal is to remove barriers that prevent certain communities from enjoying the benefits of cycling, such as improved health, reduced transportation costs, and environmental sustainability. Promoting bicycle equity helps create a more inclusive and sustainable transportation system that benefits everyone.
