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.
Baisikeli is a company that designs and manufactures bicycles. Emma Jorn is a designer for Baisikeli who created their new model called Soverain. The Soverain is aimed at casual riders and emphasizes comfort, with features like an adjustable seat and shock absorption.

2. Syfte med projektet:
Kvinnor som inte kan cykla ska få lära sig att cykla för att
i framtiden kunna använda cykeln som ett transportmedel*.
* Kommunen arbetar med respåverkan och försöker få fler människor att cykla
4. Leveransmål:
Erbjudande om kostnadsfri cykelutbildning* och tillhandahållande
av cyklar, hjälmar, kursmaterial och kursledare.
* ca 5 veckor, 2 kurstillfällen/vecka
6. Projektgrupp:
Malmö stad genomförde projektet tillsammans med
Studiefrämjandet*.
*erbjuder studiecirklar, utbildningar, kulturarrangemang och föreläsningar
9. Erfarenheter:
Endast för kvinnor!
Många uttryckte att kurserna måste vara endast för kvinnor för
att de ska kunna delta. Någon berättade att de trots det gjorde
det i hemlighet utan att deras män kände till det.
10. Erfarenheter:
Väder!
Eftersom kursen är gratis blev ibland uppslutningen inte som
förväntad. För att undvika att deltagarna stannar hemma för att
det är kallt och regnigt, är det bäst att lägga kursen under våren
eller sommaren.
12. Utvärdering:
170 nyblivna cyklister!
Ca 170 kvinnor har deltagit i kurserna och nästan alla lärde sig
helt och hållet att cykla. Deltagarna kom från hela världen, en kom
från Sverige.
13. Utvärdering:
Mycket mer än cykling!
Kurserna har fått mycket positivt omdöme från deltagare på
grund av att de inte bara gav möjlighet att lära sig cykla,
utan för att de gav en social samvaro med möjlighet att tala
det svenska språket. En kvinna berättade att kursen hjälpte
henne ur en långvarig depression.
