The KC Area Transportation Authority recently reported that bike rack usage is on the rise. In the last year the amount bus riders using the bike racks has risen from 1% to 3%. That means that 3% of all bus riders are taking their bike with them. While that doesn’t sound like much, it is a pretty big increase in a short amount of time.

Since the Kansas City region lacks any good data bicycling, this is one of the few tangible measures of how bicycling is on the rise lately.
