Airports Urged to Make Room for Bikes

The Wright brothers may have been the first to move from bicycling to flying, but many more people can—and should—do the same today, according to a new report from the Transportation Research Board. The report argues that airport managers should accommodate bicyclists as a way for travelers and employees to reach the airfield. Building cycle-friendly infrastructure, it says, could help ease the chronic traffic congestion that plagues departure and arrival areas and surrounding roadways.
