Let's keep pushing forward with integrating cycling practices, infrastructure, and policies in cities worldwide. It's crucial to recognise that various societal groups have different perceptions of cycling. Our backgrounds and personal experiences influence our affiliation, knowledge, and skills related to cycling. As urban planners, we must improve our understanding of how diverse cycling environments and infrastructures impact different groups, such as women. #Genderplanning #Cycling #Bicycleday

Happy bike day! One thing I miss greatly from living in Sweden is the walking and cycling infrastructure in cities. When I lived in Umeå in northern Sweden, I rarely needed car or other transport to get me to work or downtown. Biking was the most convenient and often the fastest way of transport thanks to the great and safe infrastructure for biking. Living in around the same city-size in Slovakia, I can say that biking in cities is very difficult, inconvenient, and often very hazardous. No such infrastructure was planned back in the past and it´s very difficult to make safe and convenient cycling paths within the current infrastructure. In addition, and sadly, it seems that large part of the society cannot see the downs of the current state and the benefits of a better, and more sustainable, cycling infrastructure. I hope the paradigm will shift one day, the sooner the better 🚲 #bike #mobility #cycling #WorldCycleDay #sustainable

This is a real elevation of cycling policy to a higher level of strategic considerations in the EU. We are waiting, when we start the work on the Polish Cycling Strategy.

Today is #WorldBicycleDay. Cycling is a simple, affordable, and environmentally friendly means of sustainable transport. Increasing walking and cycling could reduce transport sector emissions by 50%. Discover how a UNEP-led plan is encouraging cycling in Africa: https://lnkd.in/gipeQuvy

The growing popularity of cycling is a promising step forward on the road to creating a more sustainable transport system for our towns and cities. But investment in cycling infrastructure is vital if the potential of a cycling-led future is to be realized. Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/eUui-jsV

You already know how healthy and sustainable #cycling is. The only remaining excuse for not cycling could be the state of cycling infrastructure. #XenoBike digitizes the world from the perspective of the cyclist, supporting smart maintenance and improvement of bike lanes.

What can Australia do to promote #cycling as a viable and reliable option for everyday transport for its commuters? Cycling supports healthy, liveable and #sustainable cities, yet the number of Australians choosing #activetransport is at a standstill. So how can Australians reap the benefits of cycling? 🚴♂️ Improve #cyclinginfrastructure across Australian cities 🚴♂️ Use AI to help fill the gaps (highlighting areas with limited or no cycling infrastructure) 🚴♂️ Use simulations to evaluate decisions on cycling infrastructure 🚴♂️ Plan with a focus on cycling 🚴♂️ Make active transport a #funding priority 🚴♂️ Connect cycling to long-term health benefits #urbanmobility #micromobility ➡ https://lnkd.in/gtSq9TWs

EFAFLEX - The Parking People The popularity of cycling is increasing throughout Europe. Initiatives such as the EU's goal of reducing CO₂ emissions by promoting sustainable transport have led to a boom in cycling. Cities such as Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Münster have proven that cycling infrastructure not only improves the cityscape, but also increases the quality of life.

According to today's transport stats, cycling continued to account for just 1% of all kilometres travelled in Great Britain in 2023. Together, we can change that! By making cycling a bigger part of everyday journeys, we can create cleaner, greener, healthier communities. 👉 Join the movement: https://lnkd.in/eDFXj6gZ 🔗 Access the Transport Statistics here: https://lnkd.in/gcB-GBcg
