Portland, OR - âEven though bicyclists and pedestrians spend less money per
trip, they make more frequent to a business throughout a month and end up
spending more on average than their car-driving counterparts.â (Clifton, 2013)
Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN - Customers of the Nice Ride bike share system spent
an estimated additional $150,000 in one season at restaurants and other
businesses near Nice Ride stations (Wang et al., 2012).
