I know you've listed a variety of areas where we are aggregating this data and putting it out for public consumption, is there a specific report or analysis that the agency does that reflects anything surrounding cycling or cycling activity or any breeds are bridges most frequently biked on.

Is there a study or is there a report that goes out to the mayor, to the city council, or to the public?

That's aggregated information into a report, either quarterly, annually, biannually, anything like that.

1:26:45
We also have information on how the bridges that we collect every year.

In addition, some of the work that we do is that we base our cycling plans on also has to do with development of greenways, parts of the city that have been underserved for cycling, and that we're trying to encourage more cycling in the future and we sort of package all of this together and we put together our yearly cycling plans for both conventional lanes and parking protected or other protected bike lanes.
