bikeable
Suitable for cycling
Bikeable describes a place that is suitable or safe for cycling.
A bikeable city or neighborhood has infrastructure like bike lanes, paths, and secure parking that make cycling a practical transportation option.
The term often appears in urban planning discussions and real estate listings: We moved to a more bikeable area so I could commute without a car.
Bikeability, like walkability, has become a selling point for communities trying to reduce car dependence.
