Bicycle Infrastructure Safety: A Review and Application of the Case-Control Methodology
As of 2013 the City of Seattle has 44 miles of bike lanes installed on city roadways. The 2014 Seattle Bicycle Master Plan calls for many new miles of bike lanes, cycle tracks, and neighborhood greenways. This report examines the safety of each type of infrastructure and evaluates the pros and cons …

A Model for Estimating Bike Lane Demand
Unfortunately, bike-related accidents are very common. Some of these accidents can be deadly. Most of the times, these accidents happen due to the lack of a safer means of commute, a bike lane. Further, many citizens could potentially be cyclists if bike-lanes were installed. Driven by the idea of …
