The New York City Department of Transportation has just released its annual report on bike ridership rates in the city (PDF here), and their figures show a 13 percent increase from 2009. The statistics are based on riders counted during weekday surveys between 7am and 7pm at six strategic points bike commuters typically ride through: the Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg and Queensboro Bridges, the Staten Island Ferry and the Hudson River Greenway at 50th Street. bike lanes must be working: this marks the fourth consecutive year of double-digit percentage growth in ridership rates.
