Table 1 shows the number of cyclists observed riding on
St. Claude Avenue during both weekdays and weekends,
before and after the bike lanes were striped. There was
an increase in the mean number of cyclists observed per
day from pre- to post-installation (90.0 versus 142.5,
respectively; P < .001).
There was a 133% increase in the average daily
number of women riders observed in the street (12.6
versus 29.4; P < .001) and a 44% increase in the average number of male riders observed (77 versus 111.2; P
< .001). There were very few children observed at both
times.
Table 1 also shows the proportion of cyclists riding
with and against traffi on the street, as well as whether
they are riding on the street or sidewalk before and after
the bike lanes were installed. The proportion of cyclists
riding with traffi increased (73.3% versus 81.8%; P <
.001). The proportion of cyclists riding on the sidewalk
did not change after the intervention (P = .90).
