The '20-minute neighbourhood' is the concept of a place wherein daily needs can be met within a walkable area.
With Portland‟s recently adopted goal of increasing bicycle ridership to a 25% mode share by the year 2030, efforts to incorporate bicycles into this concept will become increasingly important.
This paper explores a methodology for assessing a neighbourhood‟s bikeability based on its mix of infrastructure and destinations – essentially the 20-minute neighborhood for bicycles. This methodology can be easily adapted by local government in Victoria.
