Why Cities Are Building More Cycling Infrastructure

Description:
Cycling infrastructure is changing the way people move around many urban areas.

More than just a bicycle lane

A well-designed cycling network can connect residential areas with schools, workplaces, shops, and public transportation. This makes bicycles useful not only for recreation but also for everyday journeys.

Infrastructure can take many forms, including protected lanes, bicycle parking, traffic-calmed streets, and dedicated crossings.

Key idea: A connected cycling network can be more useful than isolated bicycle lanes.
