"Nationally there are over 1 million daily commuters and nearly 57 million people who report regular bicycling activities. According to a recent poll, over half of Americans want to bike more than they do now. Currently, less than one percent of all transportation funds spent each year are directed toward bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Yet bicycling and walking account for at least 7 percent of trips and 13.3 percent of traffic fatalities."
