We recently completed a single family custom home in Kailua, Hawaii, fortunately this town promotes a great bicycle network and for this particular project it was easy to comply with the requirements. Given this town is quite small but very accessible via bicycle, this credit was more of an opportunity for us to educate the homeowner on the importance of alternative transportation and taking advantage of the bicycle 'networkability' in Kailua. There are secure storage locations all of the town, at the beach parks and even at restaurants, bars and stores. Without this it would be very hard to qualify for this credit and I suspect that most towns aren't this advanced. Kailua is already overly congested from tourism so bicycling is actually a quicker form of transportation when travelling around town... takes 1/3 the time of driving... case and point!
