The long-discussed European Declaration on Cycling, which recognizes the benefits in mobility, health, as well as opportunities in employment / economical / industrial levels, was signed today. Good news for light mobility, we were waiting for this happening a long time and hopefully gives this declaration a boost to the local governments in countries and cities to review their strategy for two wheel light mobility. It should open the path for more two wheel transportation and give the cyclist as well a better and safer infrastructure which should lead to more people using a bike. What does the declaration say? The EU states have agreed to: 1) Create more and better cycling / light mobility infrastructure 2) Encourage inclusive, affordable, healthy mobility 3) Boost financial and mindpower investment into cycling 4) Develop and strengthen cycling mobility and recreational policies 5) Improve data collection and analysis 6) Develop a world-leading cycling industry, providing long-term environmentally positive employment 7) Support multimodality and tourism 8) Improve road safety and security This initiative is sure to benefit not just cyclists; but also for light mobility users, citizens, workers and user of the public transport. https://lnkd.in/ewBKCbHP Stromer Bikes Desiknio

European cities are taking steps to reward cycling with projects like Bike2Green in which you attach a sensor kit to your bicycle and get shopping vouchers for the distance traveled, with higher rewards for cycling trips to school and work. In Taiwan, the publicly funded bikeshare YouBike launched the Carbon Reduction Passbook app 2 weeks ago which records users' carbon reduction data based on their YouBike rides and allows them to accumulate credits to exchange for prizes at Giant or partner stores. Looking forward to a project like Bike2Green that would include the large majority of Taiwanese riders who prefer their own bikes: in 2023 2.1% of commuters in Taipei City rode their personal bicycles while 1% used YouBikes, the only available bikeshare. https://lnkd.in/ga4cYJWp

Bike lanes are not “solutions” in themselves but components in a mobility system. When cycling networks are measured only in terms of lane mileage, the evaluation can mislead and the results may disappoint. In “When Bicycle Lanes Are Not Enough,” Gail Jennings, Brett Petzer, and Ezra Goldman investigate Cape Town’s noble ambition to become a cycling city – and the mixed results. Recognizing cycling as a component in a sociotechnical mobility system and using Bogotá and Copenhagen as comparative reference points, Jennings, Petzer and Goldman reveal the means by which cities can markedly boost cycling’s share in everyday mobility.
