Financial information

THE BIKE PONCHO™!

The Industry

Bicycling in the U.S. was a $6.1 billion industry in 2012, including the retail value of bicycles, related parts, and accessories through all channels of distribution, according to research funded by the National Sporting Goods Association.

39.3 million Americans age seven and older were estimated to have ridden a bicycle six times or more in 2012. Cycling is the seventh most popular recreational activity in the U.S., behind exercise walking, swimming, camping, fishing, exercising with equipment and bowling according to the National Sporting Goods Association.

Riding for transportation is a growing market that is important for the industry because it establishes cycling as a legitimate part of the nations transportation mix. The industry, as well as cyclist across the country, have strongly advocated for streets and roads to be made friendlier to bicyclists and pedestrians in recent years. Bicycles are important not only as vehicles to make an entire trip to work, but also as connectors for short trips from mass transit. Several cities and companies have instituted bike sharing programs that allow people to borrow a bike for transportation and return it later.

Bicycles are clearly much more than toys, and their combination of utility and recreation use continues to justify support for cycling-friendly roads, trails and related facilities. Cycling facilities construction is at an all-time high and both pedestrian and bicycle facilities have received an increasing level of support from the government in recent years. Better facilities continue to be an important factor in the industry's growth, as bicycles continue to provide Americans with a clean and healthy transportation alternative that is both practical and affordable. Bicycle use continues to be an potential solution for improving people's health, as well as contributing to more livable communities.

If we rode one 4-mile round trip by cycling instead of riding in our cars each week, we would burn nearly 2 billion fewer gallons of gas each year. At a cost of $3.64 a gallon, that's $6.6 billion in savings.
