2021 Boston Bike Counts
Learn about highlights from the bicycle count data we collected in 2021.
Every year, we count the number of people riding bicycles at specific locations across the City. By 2030, our goal is to increase the number of people biking fourfold. Counting helps us measure our progress. We also measure growth in Bluebikes trips. Bluebikes is metro Boston's public bike share system.
Looking at Bluebikes data
Bluebikes is public transportation by bike. The municipally-owned system operates in 11 cities and towns in greater Boston. Together, we've taken more than 13 million trips by bike.
