II. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to determine the potential role of the bicycle for
transportation in the United States. This role has special significance given the
energy shortage and current problems of air pollution. Energy shortages and
more expensive fuel prices may induce citizens to reduce their travel or shift to
modes with lower energy requirements. Thus, the bicycle may well fulfill these
needs.
It is necessary to determine the effects and feasibility of the use of bicycle
transportation by more people. This report investigates the feasibility of using
bicycles as an alternative mode of transportation. To determine the potential for
bicycle use, the report examines current trends of bicycle use in the United
States, the conditions facing the American cyclist, the benefits and deterrents to
bicycling, Federal, State, and local considerations affecting bicycle use, and the
foreign bicycle experience.4
