While this is huge, San Diego still has a long way to go. Cyclists say many of the new bike paths aren’t connected.

Work to do, but the demand is clearly here.

Build it and they will ride bikes.

Not mentioned in the cycling growth, e-bikes.

E-bikes have brought a lot of new bicycle riders and commuters to cycling. For folks who had longer commutes, hills, or even less safe routes, e-bikes are a game changer.

With San Diego’s great weather, active lifestyle, of course people want to ride bicycles.
