Urban cycling-development - Lars Stromgren (Minsk, 2017)
The document discusses cycling in European cities and presents information on developing cycling infrastructure and promoting cycling. It summarizes key reasons why Copenhagen residents cycle, including that it is faster, more convenient, and better for one's health. The document outlines hardware, software, and organizational considerations for planning cycling networks and promoting cycling culture. It notes that an EU Cycling Strategy is being developed with the goal of increasing cycling rates and safety across Europe.

- 41. Policy objectives 1) Cyclingshould be an equal partner in the mobility system. Users pay for the full external costs of motorised transport while the societal benefits of active mobility are fully taken into account in transport planning and investment decisions. In addition, it will show the path towards prioritising cycling over individual motorised transport. 2) Cycle use in the EU will increase by 50% in the decade from 2019/2020 – 2030. Its share in the transport modal split will be at least 12 % which means 0.48 cycle trips per person per day as an average. 3) The rates (per km cycled) for fatalities and seriously injured among cyclists will be halved in the decade 2019/2020 – 2030. 4) The EU should double its investments in cycle projects to 3 billion Euro during the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021 – 2027 (up from 1.5 billion Euro in 2013 - 2020) and aim for another doubling to 6 billion Euro during the 2028 – 2034 period.

Because of this, over time, cyclists spend as much or more than motorists.

- #28 There is a temptation to install cycle tracks where it would be easy and cheap to do so. This temptation should be avoided. Cycle tracks should be built where they are necessary which is often where it is difficult and controversial. The cycling infrastructure should be direct, logical, comfortble and convenient otherwise existing cyclists may avoid them and potential new cyclists will notbike at all.
