Continuous and integral: The cycling policies of Groningen and other European cycling cities

This Fietsberaad publication from the Netherlands looks at the traffic policies of 10 cities characterised by a relatively high degree of bicycle use.

Each account gives a specific picture of the ‘course of development’ of bicycle use in a municipality and the relation between bicycle use and local policy. They concern five cities in the Netherlands known as ‘cycling cities’: Groningen, Amsterdam, Enschede, Zwolle and Veenendaal. This is added by a selection of five cities from other neighbouring countries that also know a respectable level of bicycle use: Münster and Freiburg in Germany, Copenhagen and Odense in Denmark and Ghent in Belgium.
