The document proposes creating 50 km of cycling express lanes near railway lines in Brussels to encourage more commuting by bicycle. It notes that currently only 1.9% of commuters in Brussels bike compared to 37% in Copenhagen. The cycling express lanes would be flat paths on approach roads and run parallel to railway lines. The document estimates the cost at €50 million, which is affordable and five times the annual cycling budget for Brussels Region. It provides examples of specific proposed paths and estimated costs. The goal is to make cycling safer, more direct, and reduce barriers to increase bicycling as a means of transportation.
