Operational Characteristics of Conventional and Electric-Assisted Bicycles and Their Riders Status: ActiveProject Start Date: 08/11/2025Subscribe for Updates Summary: The MnDOT Bicycle Facility Design Manual and the AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities are the go-to resources for the design of bicycle facilities. The values in these manuals are used to make decisions on bicycle projects every day; however, some of the values and calculations presented in these guides are based on information collected 30+ years ago. The objective of this research is to collect information about basic operating characteristic of conventional bicycles, electric assist bicycles (e-bikes) and their riders. Research will identify the characteristics most impactful to bicycle facility design guidance. Final Deliverables: Related Materials: Related Research:
