New Hampshire Loves Bicycle Tourists.
Boyd Cabanaw, of Owasso, Oklahoma, visited New Hampshire by bicycle to see the 2019 Fall foliage.

USDOT/FHWA recognizes that the economic impact of bicycling and walking includes avoided societal costs related to a mode shift from automobile travel to bicycling and walking (e.g., reduction of greenhouse gas and other emissions, traffic enforcement, noise impacts, and safety). See FHWA's "Evaluating the Economic Benefits of Nonmotorized Transportation."
FHWA publishes a "Strategic Agenda for Pedestrian and Bicycle Transportation."
The Agenda sets out the following goals: Reduce pedestrian and bicycle fatalities and serious injuries by 80 percent in the United States in 15 years, and strive for zero pedestrian and bicycle fatalities and serious injuries in the next 20 to 30 years; and, Increase the percentage of short trips by bicycling and walking to 30 percent by the year 2025.
