Two-Wheeled Commuting Charts

The 'Bikes Provide an Answer' Infographic Promotes Cycling

— June 13, 2012 — Lifestyle
A case is made for ditching the smog-producing automobile in favor of a greener transportation method in this 'Bikes Provide an Answer' infographic.

Using statistics compiled from the Healthcare Management Degree, the chart shows that riding a bike everyday can dramatically reduce not only one's carbon footprint but one's waistline as well. The chart sites that in the first year of riding a bike daily, the average person will lose around 13 pounds.

Furthermore, it is also mentioned that 70 per cent of the car trips taken by Americans are less than 2 miles in length -- meaning that one could easily get to their destination on a bike in around 10 minutes. If that isn't enough motivation to switch from a four-wheeled ride to a two-wheeled one, the graph also mentions that bikes get people to their destinations 50 per cent faster than cars do when commuting during rush hour.

Trend Themes
1. Green Transportation - Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop innovative bike-sharing platforms that make it easy and convenient for individuals to switch to two-wheeled commuting.
2. Active Lifestyle - Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Create fitness tracking systems specifically designed for cyclists, providing them with personalized data and insights to improve their health and wellness.
3. Efficient Commuting - Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Design and manufacture lightweight and high-performance electric bikes that can provide a faster and more sustainable alternative to cars for short-distance commuting.
Industry Implications
1. Transportation - Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop new bike infrastructure concepts and designs to support the growing demand for cycling as a mode of transportation.
2. Fitness and Wellness - Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Create specialized fitness programs and services for cyclists, offering personalized training plans and nutrition recommendations to enhance performance and overall well-being.
3. Electric Vehicles - Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Leverage advancements in electric vehicle technology to create eco-friendly and high-performance electric bicycles that can revolutionize urban commuting.
