BENCHMARKING OF INFRASTRUCTURE FOR BIKING

Biking is cheap, causes no congestion, is environmentally friendly in terms of emission and noise and needs little space for parking. To stimulate the use of biking as a transport mode the infrastructure for bikes should be attractive. In this paper the authors develop and apply a benchmarking instrument to compare between cities the attractiveness of the infrastructure for biking. This instrument should be simple to apply (by local bicycle organisations) and the variables should be objectively measured (to have a policy impact). (A) For the covering abstract see ITRD E107667.
