The newsletter discusses developments in cycling infrastructure and promotion in Copenhagen and Denmark. It reports that Copenhagen's Bicycle Account 2010 shows an increase in cycling and cyclist safety. It also describes Odense rebranding itself as the "City of Cyclists" and a program using GPS to motivate children to cycle. Additionally, it covers new S-train carriages doubling bike capacity and implementing one-way traffic in bike compartments.
The document discusses measuring the economic efficiency of transportation investments through cost-benefit analysis. It provides examples showing that bicycle infrastructure projects can yield high economic returns compared to other modes when accounting for cost savings from health benefits, reduced pollution and congestion. Cost-benefit analysis of the Brygge Bridge in Copenhagen found an internal rate of return of 7.6%, comparable to other transportation projects. The analysis suggests bicycle projects deserve thorough economic evaluation along with other modes.

This document analyzes cycling statistics from 2007-2009 in Denmark. It shows that residents of smaller islands like Læsø and Fanø take a higher percentage of trips by bicycle compared to their daily distance traveled, while residents of larger cities travel farther each day but take a lower percentage of trips by bike. It also compares cycling behaviors between municipalities in larger urban areas.
This research document analyzes three bike infrastructure cases - Bryggebro, Hans B. Gade, and Vestergade Vest in Denmark. The research aims to identify what infrastructure designs can significantly promote cycling. Data was collected through interviews, surveys, and bike counts to understand demographics, satisfaction, and bike usage at each site. The results found differences in age ranges, purposes for biking, satisfaction levels, and whether biking increased after infrastructure changes at the three sites. Overall, the research examines how bike infrastructure impacts cycling behavior.

Hvorfor den lave andel cyklister?
•Struktur
• Topografi
• Regional infrastruktur
• Storcenter
• Prioritering af biltrafik
•Kultur
• Citat fra undersøgelsen: ”Nærområdet har ikke den store
betydning, så længe man har muligheden for at hoppe ind i
bilen – og køre til det ønskede sted i byen”
• En større andel svarer, at de foretrækker og er afhængige af
bilen og samtidig føler flere sig generet af trafikken end i
Roskilde
4. Sundhedsområdet, Social og beskæftigelsesforvaltningen
Borgere på elcykel
Formål
At skabe opmærksomhed omkring elcyklens
muligheder
Fremgangsmåde
• 40 borgere lånte elcykler i sammenlagt 4 måneder
Resultat
•40 meget glade borgere
•God borger til borger-formidling
•Effektiv borgerindvolvering i Kolding Cykelbyprojektet
•Stor interesse fra pressen – avisartikler, live radio/TV
6. Sundhedsområdet, Social og beskæftigelsesforvaltningen
Hjemmeplejen på elcykel
Formål
At afprøve elcyklen i hjemmeplejeregi
Fremgangsmåde
25 elcykler blev sat på faste ruter, herunder som afløser
for 5 bilruter.
Resultat
Social- og sundhedshjælper Karin Lykke Steffensen: Opfordrer
kommunen til at investere i flere el-cykler. Hendes arbejdsglæde er
blevet forbedret, hun kommer hurtigere rundt til borgerne, og
hendes knæ har det bedre, efter hun fik en el-cykel til rådighed i
stedet for en almindelig cykel.
7. Sundhedsområdet, Social og beskæftigelsesforvaltningen
Hjemmeplejen på elcykel
Resultat
• Sparer 15-20 minutter på kuperede ruter til/fra borgere
• Mindre fysisk trætte i arbejdstiden
• Mindre stressede i arbejdstiden
• De fysiske skavanker, som fx dårlige knæ er blevet
reduceret
• 76 % mener at det nu er sjovere at cykle i arbejdstiden
• 45 % mener at elcyklen har motiveret dem til at cykle
mere i fritiden
God omtale i pressen
• Stor interesse fra pressen – positive historier,
avisartikler mm.
