bikeability
Bicycle infrastructure quality
Bikeability is how suitable a place is for cycling—considering factors like bike lanes, road safety, terrain, and infrastructure.
Urban planners use it to evaluate transportation options: The city's bikeability score improved after adding protected lanes.
A neighborhood with high bikeability makes cycling practical for commutes and errands.
