Cycling, why bother?
• Together with walking most environmentally sustainable transport mode
• Clean, quiet, space efficient• Contributes to, rather than detracts from the
quality of public space• Inexpensive, for both the individual and the public• Healthy • Fun• Cool

Share of cycling as percentage of all trips in 14 countries(Buehler and Pucher, 2012)
To see what a world where cycling is a significant part of everyday mobility would look like , The Netherlands is the place to go
27%

Growing, because of more, and younger people moving to cities, or staying there longerHow to accommodate the growth?
Declining, because of people leaving, especially young people, and because jobs and services are thinning outHow to stem the decline?

• Cycling shares have been increasing in cities characterized by…Hardware- an increase in the speed of bike trips relative to car tripsOrgware- successful in implementing most of the proposed interventions - high levels of citizen participation- a combination of the above factors
![Page 26: Beijing 2014 without photos](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061306/589a3dca1a28ab8c588b5af7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Cycling safety has been increasing in cities characterized by…Hardware- an increase of on-street car parking tariffs and enlargement of the area of paid on-street car parking- an increase in #crossings where cyclists have priority- an increase in % asphalt/tarmac on bike paths Software- giving much attention to cycling education for childrenOrgware- high degree of flexibility in policy- authoritative (or charismatic) leaders

• The perception of cycling conditions has been improving in cities characterized by…Hardware- enlargement of the area of paid on-street car parking- an increase in the supply of bicycle parking facilities at stations areasOrgware - high levels of citizen participation- successful in implementing most of the proposed interventions - authoritative (or charismatic) leaders- much scope for experimental interventions

• Overall, adding to the literature:– Both pull (pro-bike) and push (anti-car) hardware– Not only hardware– Combinations important

Also for China?

The potential benefits seem evident, but can it be done?
• Chinese cities now, reminding of cities in Western Europe in the 1960s

“Not for Chinese cities”• “Trips too long”
– Many trips are within bike range (3-6 km at leisurely pace)
– And: more trips can be brought within bike range (by mixing functions)
– Innovations and combinations can expand the spatial reach of the bike
![Page 46: Beijing 2014 without photos](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061306/589a3dca1a28ab8c588b5af7/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Innovation-1: the e-bike
• In The Netherlands, by now around half of the bike-km of those aged 65 or more are by e-bike

• Why so successful?• Train fast, bike flexible
– Faster than walk-train– More flexible than bus/tram-train
• Competitive with car– Not bike alone, too slow– Not train alone, too rigid
Combination: bike-train
![Page 52: Beijing 2014 without photos](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061306/589a3dca1a28ab8c588b5af7/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
• “Not enough space”– Bike 7 x more space efficient than car (10 x when
parked)– Bike 1,5 more space efficient than bus

• “Air too polluted”– Not cycling, but pollution is the problem– Pollution problem for everybody, not only cyclists– Cycling can be a part of the solution

numbers are there
