Some barriers that Charles Brown, Senior Researcher at the Voorhees Transportation Center at Rutgers University, has identified are costs, storage and fears of being hit and profiled.

“What we care most about is that everyone in the city of Camden has access to a bicycle, that’s the ultimate measure of success,” Brown said.
