Overview

PeopleForBikes is a national bike advocacy organization and trade group for the bike industry working to make bicycling safe, convenient, and fun for people of all ages and abilities. The Bicycle Network Analysis, a.k.a. the BNA, is open source software that assesses the quality and connectivity of bike networks in cities. The BNA is an integral part of PeopleForBikes’ City Ratings program, which measures progress towards building great cities for bikes, shares best practices, and engages more people in bike advocacy.

BNA Mechanics is the technical group developing the BNA. We aim to simplify and automate tasks to help our advocates focus on what they do best: get more people riding bikes more often, and make bike riding better for everyone.

Our projects:

• brokenspoke: A collection of tools for the BNA
• brokenspoke-analyzer: Run Bicycle Network Analysis locally
• measure: Quantify and identify bike lanes in cities
• scorecards: Retrieve the BNA scorecards for your country

And more to come!
