Science Direct Review of Vélo Canada Bikes Pedal Poll Supports Cycling & Infrastructure

release by Vélo Canada Bikes

January 7, 2026 - We are thrilled to share the publication of an academic article based on our annual bicycle count, #PedalPollSondoVelo in Science Direct’s Journal of Cycling and Micromobility Research.

Review of Vélo Canada Bikes Pedal Poll says cycling is an efficient and sustainable urban mode of transport, and infrastructure leads to more cycling activity. ©

Based on data generated by hundreds of volunteers from count sites across Canada—in communities ranging from 20,000 to over 6 million people—the evidence is clear:

• Infrastructure Matters: We found significantly higher cycling rates where “high-comfort” infrastructure is available.

• Access is Essential: Cycling activity increases where there is greater accessibility to key destinations.

• Efficiency: Cycling remains the most sustainable and space-efficient urban transport mode, especially in constrained environments.

Thank you to the authors and contributors: Madeleine Bonsma-Fisher, Moreno Zanotto, Kate Walker, Samuel Benoit, Sara FL Kirk and Meghan Winters.
