Bicycling and Public Transport: Perfect Together?
•Synergies:•Cycling extends catchment areas of transit stops far beyond walking range•Much cheaper than park and ride for cars•Transit complements cycling by overcoming long distances, physical barriers, bad weather, or mechanical failure
•Rivalries and conflicts:•Limited space on crowded peak-hour transit vehicles•Cycling substitutes for public transport over short distances
•Most studies find mutually beneficial overall, but much more research needed

Types of Bike-Transit Integration
Bike parking at rail stations and bus stopsMulti-functional, full service bike stationsBikes on board buses and trains, usually on rail vehicles, often with special provisionsBike Rental at or Near StationsBike paths, lanes, and on-street bike routes that lead to public transit stations and thus facilitate bike’s role as feeder to transit

Growth in Bike-Transit Trips
Washington Metrorail: 60% growth in bike and ride from 2002 to 2007Minneapolis: doubling in bikes on buses from 2007 to 2008SF Bay Area: Bike access trips to BART stations rose from 2.5% in 1998 to 3.5% in 2008 (10,920 trips per day)Nationally from 1% to 3% of transit access/egress tripsMore research needed on impacts of bike-transit integration

Conclusions
Vast improvement in bike transit integration in North America since 2000Problems where most successful ?“Complete stations”Future growth in cycling will require even further investments in the coming yearsBike and ride is much cheaper than park and ride and more environmentally friendly
