Under the challenge of climate change, cycling has become a viable alternative to motorized transport. Both in LMICs) and HICs with a growing market share of cycles and particularly e-cycles (bicycles assisted by electric batteries) and widespread adoption of bike-sharing system (PBS), cycling currently sees its revival as an attractive alternative or supplement not only for urban transport but also for longer routes. Providing the necessary cycling infrastructure, both for short and long-distance cycle journeys is key to this development. Cycling infrastructure such as segregated bicycle lanes on local highways or longer distance routes alongside motorways or strategic roads can play a crucial role.
A number of road and transport administrations are expanding their focus on biking.
This session offered a global view of the Interurban Cycling Infrastructure and featured an in-depth review of six case studies, with a light review of an additional 14 case studies. The case studies showcased exemplary projects and policies. There was a balance between low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries.
