Bike-to-Work Day in Emeryville saw 30% increase in bicyclists over last year!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Here’s a report from Peter Schultze-Allen, Emeryville’s Environmental Programs Analyst:<\/p>\n

The count at our three bike stations in Emeryville was up 30% from last year. And that doesn\u2019t include the new bike station at 46th and Adeline that had a big turnout.<\/p>\n

We had record numbers at all our stations!<\/p>\n

1. San Pablo and 40th once again was the leader with 322 cyclists riding by and\/or stopping at the table (up 15% from last year.) Back in 2006 we only had 110!<\/p>\n

2. The Greenway Station was very popular with 224 cyclists. Clif Bar wants to host a station there next year on their own like Novartis.<\/p>\n

3. Next was 46th and Adeline with 206. A great start for a new station. Oakland is planning on striping bike lanes on Adeline soon so that will help next year.<\/p>\n

4. The Bay Trail station at Powell and Frontage was up 50% over last year with 127 cyclists counted!<\/p>\n

5. Novartis had 168 at their station this year.<\/p>\n

On to Next Year!<\/p>\n
