2019 Worldwide Cycling Index
Please find below the 5th Worldwide Cycling Index, a global analysis we are leading since 2014 on all our bicycle counters installed in the world. The highly anticipated Index draws bike count data from over 3,000 automated counters across 39 countries to estimate the overall progression of bicycle traffic volumes by country and city.
Eco-Counter has partnered with NewCities to release the 2019 World Cycling Index. The results of the Index has been announced at the Wellbeing Cities Forum in Montreal – a city Eco-Counter proudly calls home – on June 20.
Eco-Counter’s data is a vital tool for bicycling planners and cities. The data can serve as a reliable and accurate source for informing projects and local infrastructure that contribute to increased bike activity in cities.
Progression is calculated by comparing total bicycle counts between 2017 and 2018. This analysis is based on data coming from automated bicycle counters with at least 4 months of comparable and validated data.
