Positive effects for individuals
and urban societies
Which factors make cities
bicycle friendly?

Hovenring, Eindhoven (Netherlands)
Problem Statement
Many highly frequented institutions (main station,
university etc.) provide adequate bicycle
infrastructure.

Problem Statement
Many cities and regions invest in bicycle infrastructure
in order to increase the modal split.

Problem Statement
Despite these efforts, the potential of the bicycle can
not be used in the most effective way
Lack of connectivity
Poor accessibility
Obstacles
Thus accessibility and safety needs to be taken into
acount in planning for bicycle traffic!
