According to studies unveiled recently by the Walton Family
Foundation, cycling was responsible for $137 million in benefits brought
to Northwest Arkansas in 2017. That extraordinary figure includes $51
million in economic activity and $86 million in health benefits. The
foundation has invested in cycling over the past decade, including $74
million to help build 163 miles of soft-surface and paved bike trails across
the region.
