CyclePhilly – an app produced by Code for Philly, the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia, DVRPC, Septa and the City of Philadelphia – logs voluntarily-shared cyclist trip data. DVRPC recently released six months of that data, revealing which routes cyclists like best. The data was gathered from 220 unique CyclePhilly users and 8,340 individual trips.
Some highlights include:
Activity | Number of Trips | Top Philly Street |
Total Trips | 866 | Spring Garden, between 9th & 10th |
Commuting | 672 | Spring Garden, between 6th & 7th |
Doing Errands | 68 | Pine, between 15th & 17th |
