Cycling (along with walking) are considered to be “the most economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable forms of human locomotion” (Donaghy & Poppelreuter, 2005, p.197) (

\cite{Faghih_Imani_2017}. Also, with regards to measuring street volume capacity, studies have shown that the number of people who can be transported in a 3.5 m wide lane per hour on a bike ranks third most after trains and walking: bikes are able to move over 14,000 people, with trains moving 22,000 and walking able to handle 19,000 people. All of these rank above buses and cars, which are able to only accommodate 9,000 and 2,000 people, respectively (
