Copenhagen City Bicycle Account 2010 (Denmark)

In mid 2011 the City of Copenhagen released their Bicycle Account 2010, a comprehensive look at the state of cycling within the city. 84% of Copenhagen residents have access to a bicycle and 68% cycle at least once a week.

The report is based on survey data as well as other quantitative measures. The survey has been conducted every two years since 1996.

More than 1000 of the capital’s cyclists have participated in the analysis answering questions on their level of satisfaction on a number of areas. One of the goals of the City of Copenhagen is for 80% of all cyclists to feel safe. In 2008, this number was only 51%, but the latest bicycle account shows that now 67% feel safe on the cycle tracks. Moreover, never before have cycling Copenhageners covered more kilometres per day. In 2008, Copenhageners cycled 1,17 million kilometres per day, while in 2010, they covered 1,21 million kilometres per day, which is a daily increase of 40.000 kilometres.
