A new city report says the number of bicyclists in Minneapolis rose 25 percent last year, while bike-related crashes declined.

The first-ever "Bicycling Account" report covered a wide range of bicycling topics, from accessibility to the number of biking commuters.

Among the statistics: The city built 35 miles of on-street bikeways in 2011, bringing the total to 167. The city's 2015 goal was 178 miles.

"I'm proud of what we've accomplished, but we know we have a long road ahead of us," wrote Mayor R.T. Rybak.

Minneapolis now has more than 30,000 bicyclists, a 25 percent jump from 2010 and 47 percent more than 2007. Data show that the number of bikers declined from 2008 to 2010.

The crash rate -- the number of crashes compared to the number of bicycle commuters -- has fallen steadily since 1993. In 2010, there were 273 crashes and 7,000 bike commuters, the report said.
