The question it is checked under
How many people in Edmonton cycle, and how much do the bike lanes get used?
This claim is checked as part of that question. One brief covers every claim under it, and each claim still gets its own finding.
The investigation's outcomeGoing ahead
City counters, census commute data and trip surveys can show how often Edmonton’s bike lanes are used and why counts, riders and trip shares are different measures.
The same claim as bike-lanes-nobody-rides, in different words. It is checked there, so it is not checked twice.
