The development of a bicycle friendly environment requires the provision of a well planned, integrated network of bicycle routes. The linking of bicycle lanes (on road) and paths (off road) with residential areas, shops, schools workplaces and recreational reserves will improve the usability of the bicycle network.
The following documents are intended to assist practitioners develop a practical, attractive and safe bicycle network

This research report was published in the journal Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board in December 2011. This study explored a methodology for assessing a neighborhood's bicycle accessibility or 'bikeability' on the basis of its mix of infrastructure and destinations, essentially the 20-min neighborhood for bicycles.

In many places built since the 1950s, roadway design usually means a system of widely spaced, large arterials fed by smaller roadways that rarely connect with each other. This system concentrates motorized traffic on a limited number of large roads, which causes longer, indirect trips and limits opportunities for alternate routes. Such a network makes it difficult for people who might walk, bike, or take public transportation because the indirect routes lengthen their trips and force them onto roads that are usually not designed for their safety or comfort. Public transportation also has a difficult time serving isolated neighborhoods with only one or two entry or exit points. So, people end up driving, even for very short trips.

by Noah Kazis on October 26, 2010 Last month, builders broke ground on Fort Greene’s Navy Green project, which, when completed, will add 458 homes between the Navy Yard and the BQE. A full three-quarters of the project will be affordable to families earning between 30 and 130 percent of the area median income, and 97 of those residences will be supportive housing, offering social services in addition to shelter.

In 2008 the plan was been developed through a working group made up of representatives from Hobart, Clarence, Glenorchy, Kingborough and Brighton Councils as well as a representative from the Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources. A funding grant was provided by the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts to assist with the development of the plan. CyclingSouth prepared the document with reference to the municipal bicycle plans of each Council and in consultation with the working group. Public consultation was carried out in 2008 and feedback was collated and incorporated into the final document - Hobart Regional Arterial Bicycle Network 2009.

In the Spring of 2008, NYCDOT released Sustainable Streets, its new strategic plan. The plan laid out, for the first time ever, a clear and detailed transportation policy for New York City; one that promised a new direction.
This annual update of the plan reports on that progress, and serves as a focal point for meeting targets and sustaining momentum across all of their Agency’s programs.

This Transport for London web site outlines the Barclays Cycle Superhighways which are cycle routes running from outer to central London. Several routes have launched already with those remaining scheduled to be introduced by 2015. The site includes links to maps of the 12 routes, a collection of photos of completed routes, a video and more.

The purpose of this 2006 research report published by the NZ Transport Agency and authored by D Campbell, I Jurisich and R Dunn for GHD Limited and the University of Auckland was to come up with an on-road roundabout design that is both safe as well as attractive to cyclists. Ideally, this design will have benefits to other users as well.
The result of this work is the cyclist roundabout, or C-roundabout, a new concept in roundabout design.
