From U.S. Census Bureau's Random Samplings blog (5/8/2014)
"As cities take steps to increase transportation options, many people
choose to ride a bike to work or walk. Timed with National Bike to Work
Month, the Census Bureau has released its first-ever report on biking
and walking to work. If you have ever wondered who chooses this form of
commuting, this report highlights annual American Community Survey
information on biking and walking but also offers new information about
these travel modes for specific populations.
Although changes in rates of bicycle commuting vary across U.S.
communities, many cities have experienced relatively large increases in
bicycle commuting in recent years. The total number of bike commuters in
the U.S. increased from about 488,000 in 2000 to about 786,000 during
the period from 2008 to 2012, a larger percentage increase than that of
any other commuting mode.."Bikes to work
