How bike-friendly is your dream home? Zillow adds Bike Score to house listings

The Zillow Bike Score sources multiple platforms to estimate how bike-friendly your, or any, neighborhood is.

Anticipating that the popularity of cycling will continue to explode, Zillow made a play to capitalize on the phenomenon.

The online real estate shopping platform recently added “Bike Scores” to its listings. Simply put, the Zillow Bike Score sources multiple platforms to estimate how bike-friendly your, or any, neighborhood is. The bikeability estimate measures a home on a familiar 1-100 scale.
