The idea behind Bicycle City is that people can live, work, and play
in a town where everything is accessible by just riding a bike (with
parking is at the edge of the community.) Bicycle city was an idea
conceived in the 90’s and was just recently started this past year after
they received funding. The location for the first Bicycle city is
Lexington County, SC, between mountains and a beach. The location is
also only 12 miles away from the state capital so some of the necessary
big city amenities will be within reach.
Bicycle city mentions that their idea of building a city without cars
is not only good for the environment, but also good for people. They
explain that vehical emissions are harmful for health. They also talk
about how in big cities bicyclists and injured by cars and without this
threat, biking to and from places will be much safer.
