2021 Boston Bike Counts
Measuring bicycling in Boston
We count how many people are riding bikes at locations across the City. By 2030, our goal is to increase bicycling fourfold. Counting helps us understand trends and measure our progress. On this page, you will find data from our 2021 bike counts.
In 2021, we counted bike volumes in all four seasons. We collected counts over two days in March, June, September, and December. We started counting in all four seasons in 2020. By doing counts in all seasons, we can begin to understand how biking volumes change in different times of the year and during different weather conditions. We can also get a closer look at trends over time, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
