1 Plan a network of bike lanes

One of the most important elements of a bike-friendly city is a well-connected and accessible network of bike lanes that separates cyclists from motorized traffic and pedestrians. Bike lanes should be wide enough, clearly marked, and continuous throughout the city, linking major destinations, public transport hubs, and residential areas. They should also be maintained and cleaned regularly, especially in winter, to ensure a smooth and safe ride.

Well, transportation planning to recent decades was a bit dilemma in most of the countries where cities were designed around vehicles only. A lot of concepts got changed and new needs emerged in response to the high rates of urbanization called “NEW URBANISM”. One of the most impactful factors not only on urbanization rather, on economics, security and a lot more is the need to promote“THE COMPLETE STREETS”. It’s simply to provide multiple options for urban mobility with priority first given to the pedestrian, bike, public transit and lastly to the vehicles. Planners shouldn’t compromise with any of those modes and to redesign the old streets and roads in phases creating streets as public spaces.

Me encanta el tema, ya que, al ser usuario diario de bicicleta, siempre me encuentro con estos dos problemas allí donde voy: 1) Carencia de parkings específicos para bicicletas. En la mayoría de ocasiones acabando por encadenar mi bici a alguna valla. 2) Ausencia total de zonas de higiene y cambio en oficinas: limitando la distancia y frecuencia de los desplazamientos. En bici se va vestido de una forma, que no precisamente es la misma que para reunirse formalmente. Sobre este par de problemas, hay soluciones posibles. Tanto, que en países como Holanda o Noruega, he tenido la oportunidad de verlos implementados con enormes beneficios para todos: - Empleados/ciudadanos: mejor salud mental y física - Tráfico/medio ambiente Saludos,

I agree completely with your perspective, Adel. The transportation (urban) planners are not the main problem, as generally they promote multimodal solutions; rather, the problem is with the traffic engineering professionals. The reliance on traffic flow level of service analysis, is and has been flawed for forty years. The development community also is a big part of the problem. Together with the ITE professionals they negotiate minimal mitigations as concessions in approvals for major projects, based on the level of service analysis. What this yields is more and more cars and congestion, not quality of city improvements. I think urban planners must take the streets back from the traffic engineers.

Observe the types of bikes utilizing these lanes, noting the increasing popularity of cargo bikes among individuals with children or those without cars. Consider the demographics of users, including families with young children, and their biking habits. Ensure that the connections between bikeways are user-friendly, without obstacles like high cobblestones, to provide a seamless experience for cyclists.

2 Provide bike parking and storage

Another key factor that affects the attractiveness of biking is the availability and security of bike parking and storage facilities. A bike-friendly city should provide ample and visible bike racks near popular places, such as shops, offices, schools, and parks. Additionally, the city should offer secure and sheltered bike lockers or cages at strategic locations, such as train stations, bus terminals, and parking lots, where cyclists can store their bikes for longer periods or overnight.

3 Implement bike-sharing and rental schemes

A bike-friendly city should also make it easy and affordable for people to access bikes, especially for occasional or spontaneous trips. A bike-sharing or rental scheme can provide this option, allowing users to borrow or rent a bike from a network of stations across the city, using a smart card, an app, or a code. A bike-sharing or rental scheme can also complement public transport, by providing a convenient and flexible last-mile solution.

4 Promote bike culture and education

A bike-friendly city should not only have the physical infrastructure and services to support biking, but also the social and cultural environment that encourages and celebrates it. A bike-friendly city should promote bike culture and education, by organizing bike events, festivals, campaigns, and workshops, that showcase the benefits and joys of biking, and foster a sense of community and belonging among cyclists. A bike-friendly city should also educate drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists about the rules and etiquette of sharing the road, and enforce them with appropriate laws and penalties.

5 Integrate bike planning with urban planning

Finally, a bike-friendly city should not design for bikes in isolation, but integrate bike planning with urban planning, to create a more livable and sustainable city for all. A bike-friendly city should consider how biking can enhance the quality of life, health, environment, and economy of the city, and align its policies and strategies with these goals. A bike-friendly city should also involve and consult with various stakeholders, such as bike groups, residents, businesses, and experts, to ensure that its bike plans reflect the needs and preferences of the people who use them.

My recommendation for the stakeholder involved in the design of bike friendly cities is to research, visit and experience what works in cities that have done or are quite advance in doing the transition as Copenhagen or Amsterdam, A ride on these cities will inspire and show a world of possibilities.
