GPS surveys do not lie: https://raisethehammer.org/static/images...
That's a route heatmap generated by 700 SoBi bikes with built-in GPS trackers. Many roads are sorely missing bike lanes, and observe the strange bike rates people take to avoid the urban expressways.
Did you know our SoBi bikeshare system just got more active users than Toronto's BIXI bikeshare system, despite having operated for barely more than 4 months?
Did you know, Hamilton, an auto-loving city where the auto is more king than Toronto is, out-bikeshared Toronto, yet having fewer bikes in the bikeshare fleet than Toronto? Based on this GPS data, it literally seems like we have more pent-up bike demand in Hamilton than Toronto, to be able to bike somewhere but we are reluctant to go on dangerous roads.
According to population calculations, SoBi coverage is only 75,000 people, yet SoBi has apparently signed-up 7% of the Hamilton population covered by SoBi, with over 5,000 members. There is probably fudge in the numbers, but I consistently see SoBi bikes on specific streets (away from Main/King and fast 1-way car routes) and it appears that real world actually seems to be consistent with the data released so far. At 10:48pm Tuesday evening earlier this week, I passed 5 SoBi riders on Cannon Street alone.
