40% of trips made in the U.S. are less than two miles, a perfect distance for micro-mobility. A bicyclist would take about twelve minutes to make that trip. Rather than fighting traffic and searching for parking, many people find it easier to bike to their destination.

Motor vehicles involve a variety of clear and hidden costs, from vehicle maintenance to the infrastructure and land use costs of parking lots and roadways. While some costs are structural and shouldered by taxpayers, others can be mitigated with small vehicles.

All of the leading causes of early death in the United States involve stress and sedentary lifestyles. Choosing to bike for short trips could improve your health and well-being, reduce your chronic disease risk, and reduce your environmental impact.

When considering whether to use micro-mobility, many people hesitate due to road safety concerns. These concerns are warranted, and policy work is needed for construction of better safety infrastructure, like bike lanes and mixed-use paths.

While we push for future road safety improvements, VisiCycle hopes to engage and encourage micro-mobility users today. Designing and selling safety products allows us to support ourselves as we move toward our vision.

At VisiCycle, we recognize that policy change requires civic engagement and action by citizens. VisiCycle will donate a portion of profits to advocate for bicycle safety and accessibility.
