I can speak to US data, but not global. Two resources:<br>1. America Bikes has info on state-by-state business impact of bike retail stores in the US: <a href="http://www.americabikes.org/state_data_index">http://www.americabikes.org/state_data_index</a><br>

2. A UMass study measured the economic impact of publicly funded pedestrian &amp; bicycle infrastructure in the US: <a href="http://www.peri.umass.edu/236/hash/64a34bab6a183a2fc06fdc212875a3ad/publication/467/">http://www.peri.umass.edu/236/hash/64a34bab6a183a2fc06fdc212875a3ad/publication/467/</a><br>

I would suggest contacting the NBDA for a crude number, perhaps US customs too.  However most states don&#39;t even know their economic impact, let alone a worldwide total of all those unknowns.<div><div class="h5"><span></span><br>
