The Census Bureau recently released 5-year American Community Survey
data showing variation in commuting patterns at the census tract and
block group scales. The maps in the link below help to illustrate those
differences:

The patterns in the first two are not too surprising but help underscore
that bike commuters represent a significant share of workers in the near
east, near west and downtown neighborhoods.I was glad to see the pattern
in the third map (change in bike commuting) indicating an uptick in
areas adjacent to the major off-street bike corridors on the east and
west sides.
Cheers,
Dave
PS: At these smaller geographic scales, there's a lot of sampling error
in the ACS estimates, so please use with caution.
