MAJOR U.S. CITIES AVERAGE ONE BIKE SHOP PER 33,663 PEOPLE. Cities that have the smallest ratio<br />
of people to bike shops include Boston, Minneapolis, Seattle and Oakland. Boston has the most bicycle<br />
shops per capita with one bike shop <strong>for</strong> every 3,591 people. Charlotte has the fewest per capita bike shops<br />
with only one bike shop <strong>for</strong> every 339,196 people. Data <strong>for</strong> this illustration is an estimate only because<br />
marketing data is collected by DMA (Designated Market Area) and not by city boundary. For DMAs with<br />
more than one major city the number of shops was divided by the population of each city according to<br />
their relative populations. Because all DMAs include the metropolitan area around cities, the number of<br />
bike shops may be slightly exaggerated, but should provide a general comparison.<br />
