Several states and regions have seen significant financial benefits from bicycle tourism, with Wisconsin receiving $534 million from out-of-state cyclists, Quebec gaining $160 million annually along a bike route, and Colorado bringing in nearly $200 million from summer biking in ski areas. Studies show bicycle infrastructure investments can generate substantial economic returns through tourism spending.
