The above lists all the data used in my maps. Separated bike lanes and bike rental businesses were digitized myself with the aid of Translink and Google Maps, respectively. Colorbrewer was also used for the bikeability maps. Special thanks to Joey Lee and Brian Klinkenberg for helpful feedback and advice!
