Establishing the continuity of Metro Manila bike lane networks
Abstract
Active mobility, including walking and cycling, promotes public health and helps reduce traffic congestion. In prior work, we introduced rider-centered metrics to assess walking requirements and ride interruptions across city-level origin-destination (OD) pairs using BBBike.org data. Here, we extend this approach to any area mapped in OpenStreetMap, allowing us to identify the range of the most bikeable segments within a region. Focusing on three spatial scales: Metro Manila, Quezon City, and UP Diliman; with Antwerp, Belgium as a baseline, we find that the local median bikeable range peaks at around 2 km, dropping most rapidly for UP Diliman and Metro Manila while Antwerp peaks at around 4 km, with a much slower decline in bikeability.
