"Impacts of Roadway and Traffic Characteristics on Air Pollution Risks for Bicyclists."

Prospect
Biking gained popularity rapidly in the recent years. Most cities are promoting biking to lower traffic volumes and enhance the welfare of the public. There are many different ways that cities are using to encourage the public bike. With the existing infrastructure in most cities in the US, biking can be dangerous. Given the physical work done by bikers they inhale much more air than people driving motored vehicles. The City of Portland and ODOT are the two main audiences for this research paper.
By providing more bike lanes around the city and separating bike routes away from traffic to provide safer, more convenient options for bikers. Also separate bike routes have been proven to have much cleaner air than routes shared with other vehicles. If cities implement these changes it will have a great effect on bicycling and it will attract younger, healthier and more active newcomers as well as it will promoting a healthier life style of the existing population. Cities can also create a biking community that helps bikers reach each other and share their experiences.
