Why Isn’t Silicon Valley America’s Biking Capital?
American visitors to Amsterdam, Copenhagen and other European cities are startled to learn the bicycle is the dominant mode of commuting, despite the cold weather and challenging terrain. Why not Silicon Valley? We have a Mediterranean climate, a flat landscape, and a health-conscious population that cares about the environment. Joint Venture’s Institute for Regional Studies is releasing a report at today’s conference that lays out a vision for Silicon Valley becoming a national leader for bicycle commuting, and provides a roadmap for getting there.
