Why?
For the first time in the history of mankind, more people
live in urban areas instead of rural areas
-> mobility needs more space
A bike offers solutions

A bike offers solutions
A faster way of walking
Today:
E-bike
Speed-bike / fixed gear
A faster way of driving a car
What does the bike need?
Infrastructure (cycle superhighways: 18 km - 20km/h)
Bike lanes / cycling infrastructure
We need to stop car-oriented administration
Safety
Less cars in the city, more bikes!

Sharing public space = putting people first
If you care about public space, give bicycles a special place
1 parked car = 12 parked bicycles
If you care about public space, give bicycles a special place
Cyclists:
Tend to shop more local
Are healthier
Are less absent in their workplace
If you care about public space, give bicycles a special place
Bike sharing -> advanced bicycle policy for the city
Regulations spatial planning and housing policy
Bicycle should be the first choice
If you care about public space, give bicycles a special place
Don’t give in to seduction
We try to persuade families to get rid of their second car:
Grants
Rise of e-bikes
Accelerated construction of bicycle highways
They free up extra budget
Don’t give in to seduction
Short distance = using a bicycle
Cities that combine biking + a high-performance
public transportation network will flourish
Inhabitants are healthier and happier
Will ants solve traffic congestion?
Fietsberaad, Flemish Cycling Embassy
If you want a high-performance cycle
infrastructure in your city
-> put your mayor on a bicycle
And make sure you have a safe
infrastructure
