Survey Responses
One 132 responses were returned and variables, based on common variance, were extracted from the data. Bicycle facilities, street connectivity, and residential density were determined to be the top 3 factors. Each group was classified for use in the analysis process.
Census block group data was added to the analysis and assessed and mapped with ancillary spatial data. The data was normalized then a color gradient was applied to provide user friendly visual interpretation. Green represents the most desirable bikeable areas while red represents less desirable. The areas that are most desirable have a higher concentration of the core factors (bicycle facilities, street connectivity, and residential density).
Additional Data
Besides the bikeability index, additional spatial data is available including bike-friendly amenities and destinations. BikeBR allows users to select unique layers of interests specific to their needs. Website users also have the option of displaying customized directions by clicking origin and destination points on the map (a total of nine destination points).This display of spatial data is accessible through the use of Google Maps™ and Google Directions™ API.
