An assistant professor in the UWM School of Architecture &amp; Urban Planning, Schneider teaches a pedestrian and bicycle planning course while conducting research projects about safety, facility evaluation and the demand for active transportation.<\/p>\n<p>In time for <a href=\"http:\/\/bikeweek.wisconsinbikefed.org\/\">Wisconsin Bike Week,<\/a> which runs June 6-13, he explains why bike commuting is becoming more popular in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the percentage of workers who bike to work in Milwaukee?<\/strong><br \/>\nSince 2006, our share of bicycle commuters has increased from 0.47 percent to 1.14 percent, which is more than doubling the bicycle commute rate in the city. This is a statistically significant increase, resulting in an estimated 2,900 workers commuting regularly by bicycle. Nationwide, the bicycle commute to work rate is 0.62 percent, so Milwaukee is above the national average. A city like Madison, which is arguably the leading bike community in the state of Wisconsin, has anywhere between 4 and 6 percent of people biking to work. The leading city of more than 300,000 people in the United States is Portland, Oregon. They have a commute mode share of about 6 percent.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 5px;padding: 5px;width: 240px;float: right;border-top: 1px solid #cca540;border-bottom: #cca540 1px solid\">\n<h5><em>&#8220;Dozens of miles have been added to the system of bike lanes throughout the city since 2006 and now we have more of a connected network.\u201d <\/em><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"float: right;font-size: 0.8em\"><em> \u2013 Robert Schneider<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Why are Milwaukee residents biking to work more?<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are changes that are happening at a couple different levels. One change is infrastructure improvements. We have a really nice system of trails that is continuing to develop. This includes the Oak Leaf Trail system as well as recent additions of the Hank Aaron Trail, Beerline Trail and Kinnickinnic River Trail. Dozens of miles have been added to the system of on-street bike lanes throughout the city since 2006, and now we have a more connected network. There are still gaps, but there is progress in developing comfortable routes that connect people to more destinations throughout the city.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In addition to bike lanes and trails, what else can promote biking to work?<\/strong><br \/>\nMore than 100 cities across the United States have implemented various types of separated bicycle facilities. These are sometimes called \u201ccycle tracks,\u201d and they create a space for bicyclists that is not just a painted stripe on the roadway, but a bike lane separated by bollards or parked cars so that you, as a bicyclist, are more physically separated from moving cars. These separated bike facilities have been shown to increase the amount of bicycling done in a community and make people feel more comfortable while they are biking. There are still data questions out there about how to design them to keep bicyclists as safe as possible at intersections, but they have been very popular in most cities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What else is contributing to the increase of biking in Milwaukee?<\/strong><br \/>\nWe have redevelopment occurring in the city. The Third Ward used to be industrial, and now it is a thriving residential and commercial area. Apartments, condos, art studios and other businesses in that area are all within close proximity of each other and close to other city neighborhoods. That ingredient \u2014 nearby workplaces \u2014 is a key to bike commuting. As new development occurs in neighborhoods near downtown Milwaukee, many more people are living within two or three miles of where they work, which is an easy bike commuting distance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2426\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2426\" style=\"width: 325px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2012\/05\/busbike-2k2uds0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2426\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2012\/05\/busbike-2k2uds0.jpg\" alt=\"Make the hybrid commute: Mix a bike ride with a bus ride.\" width=\"325\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2012\/05\/busbike-2k2uds0.jpg 325w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2012\/05\/busbike-2k2uds0-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2426\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bike racks on buses are among the biking amenities that have made a bicycle commute more practical for many.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>How has culture helped give rise to the popularity of biking to work?<\/strong><br \/>\nFor many years, biking was seen mainly as a recreational activity, especially in Wisconsin. Some recreational bicyclists commuted to work, but bike commuting had the appearance of a huge undertaking. The impression was that a person needed to go get Lycra and buy a special bike. These types of bicycle commuters exist; some commute long distances and get great exercise. However, this image makes biking seem inconvenient to people who have never bicycled to work before. But a cultural change has been happening recently in Milwaukee and other cities throughout the country. More and more people see that it is okay to get on an inexpensive bike, wear their work clothes, and pedal a mile or two to work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What else will make people more comfortable biking to work?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe more bicyclists who are out on the streets, the safer it is for any individual who bikes. We have data, study after study, showing this phenomenon of \u201csafety in numbers.\u201d Doubling the number of bicyclists on the street may be associated with a slight increase in the overall number of bicycle crashes, but the number of crashes is unlikely to double (meaning the number of crashes per bicyclist goes down). We don\u2019t know the causal mechanism behind safety in numbers, but it\u2019s probably because drivers become more aware of bicyclists in the environment. Another reason could be that each individual driver is more likely to have bicycled themselves, or they know someone who bikes. Even with the benefit of safety in numbers, it is still very important to keep improving bicycle facilities like bike lanes, trails and neighborhood greenways, as well as conducting bicycle safety education and enforcement programs to make bicycle commuting as comfortable and safe as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In time for Wisconsin Bike Week,  UWM biking infrastructure expert Robert Schneider explains why bike commuting is becoming more popular in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40008,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","uwm_wg_additional_authors":[]},"categories":[174,175],"tags":[],"section":[132,246],"display_categories":[],"related-coverage":[],"uwmnews-feed":[344,144,146],"class_list":["post-18754","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-research","section-business","section-business-world-affairs","uwmnews-feed-arts-architecture","uwmnews-feed-architecture-urban-planning","uwmnews-feed-urban-planning"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>More Milwaukee residents to bike to work;
