Census: Kansas City in last place nationally for bicycle commuting
posted by Brent Hugh at 6/20/2007 10:47:00 PM
According to MoBikeFed Board Member Eric Rogers, writing on KCBike.info:
The US Census Bureau has just released a survey of American commuting habits, and the data for bicycle commuting in KC is pretty bad. Kansas City ranks dead last in bike commuting. 50th place out of 50 cities. The survey counted a paltry 50 bike commuters among KCMO’s 216,000 workers, which rounds to 0.0%. Second to last Memphis has over 4 times the number of bike commuters. Portland, Oregon came in first of course, but even unlikely cities like Wichita, Omaha, Dallas, etc. ranked much higher than Kansas City.
