Coverage analysis
What 60 minutes cycling covers in St. Louis.
Mississippi River creates a hard eastern wall, funneling isochrones westward along I-64 and I-270 through affluent St. Louis County suburbs.
At 60 minutes by bike, the St. Louis cycling isochrone captures the extended cycling reach — a recreational and extended-commute footprint where destination concepts draw committed cyclists from a wide area. Unlike a flat radius circle, the real cycling-network polygon follows St. Louis's actual bike lanes, greenways, and low-traffic streets — reaching further along protected corridors while contracting where motorways, rail yards, and rivers lack cycle crossings.
Coverage area at 60 minutes cycling: ≈ 120–250 km². Common applications for this zone include regional cycling corridor planning, velodrome and event venue catchment analysis, cargo-bike logistics network design.
The city-level population of 301,000 and a median household income of $50,000 give a sense of St. Louis's economic density, but the figure that matters for cycling catchment analysis is the population inside the polygon — not the city as a whole. That number shifts significantly depending on whether your origin is in a dense urban core or a lower-density suburban corridor. Use the tool above to set your actual candidate location, then generate the isochrone to see the real cycling catchment.
