Exciting news for the bikers in the Philadelphia Real Estate community, Seattle-based real estate technology developer Walk Score, creator of the ever popular walkability score is now measuring bikeability with Bike Score ratings for 25 American and 11 Canadian cities.
“Bike Scores launched in May, providing “bikeability” ratings (a score above 70 out of 100 is considered good) based on bike lanes, road connectivity, hills, and concentration of bikers for any address in 20 large cities, 10 in the U.S. and 10 in Canada, including New York, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Toronto, Calgary and Montreal.”
Philadelphia was recently one of the cities selected by an online user poll so walkscore.com users can now get Bike Scores for specific Philadelphia addresses and can access a heat map that shows overall ease of biking throughout the city based on five filters: Bike Score, bike lanes, hills, destinations, and concentration of bikers.
