Things always seem to move more slowly in the summer, but we finally have the survey results from our June meeting (PDF) online. Of the attendees who filled out our survey, 69% shop by bike and 41% cycle year-round.The biggest barriers to cycling identified by our survey are bike lanes/safe routes (83%) and secure parking (68%).
