Dubai is leapfrogging urban mobility towards cycling & walking in unprecedented ways. This isn't some distant utopia—it's a vision of urban mobility that's within reach. By leapfrogging traditional notions of urban transportation and embracing cycling and walking in unprecedented ways, Dubai could become the world’s most bike friendly city by 2040. The Dubai 2040 cycle city masterplan looks at reimagining streets in Dubai as shared spaces that prioritize the needs of people over the convenience of cars. It's about investing in infrastructure that makes cycling and walking safe, accessible, and enjoyable for everyone all year round, regardless of age, ability, or background. But leapfrogging urban mobility isn't just about building bike lanes and pedestrian promenades; it's about fostering a culture shift—a mindset that sees cycling and walking not as chores or inconveniences or an uncomfortable experience in a hot climate, but as joyful, safe, empowering experiences that enriches the lives of every resident in Dubai no matter the climate. #UrbanPlanning #SustainableCities #SmartCities #UrbanDevelopment #CityDesign #LivableCities #CyclingCities #BikeFriendly #ActiveTransportation #UrbanCycling #CycleInfrastructure

Paris has just announced announces 60km of cycle routes connecting all Olympic venues, 10,000 extra bike parking spaces and 3000 extra hire bikes. That's how you truly turn sport into a legacy Mayor of London. We're one week from the start of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games - and its true legacy is not the stadiums, not the athletes, but the shape of the city left behind. London's cycling is quite different to Paris - over a much bigger area, the zone over which London has 'sometimes okay cycling options' (zone 2-4 in parts) is much bigger than Paris. In particular our work on mini-Hollands neighbourhoods and Low Traffic Neighbourhoods through suburbia doesn't have a banlieue equivalent. But Paris is smashing it for the equivalent of Zone 1/2. Meanwhile in London, we've tripled the km of protected cycle lanes in London since 2016, and cycling is now equivalent to a third of all tube journeys. But it's still not good enough, and Paris shows us the pace at which change is possible. Join as an LCC member for our Paris special issue, including interviews with our equivalent campaigning group Paris en Selle, comparing infrastructure before and afters, and a great route around Paris to explore with our ride partners komoot https://lnkd.in/e6MJSKVs #paris #paris2024 #cycling #infrastructure

Cycle of life. One of the nicest things about living in the Netherlands is the ease with which one can dash about the whole country on a bike 🚲 The Netherlands puts its bike users’ needs front and centre. Cycling in this country is systemic and locals are world known for their lack of fear. The Dutch have a myriad of innovative ways to bike around —including for a cup of coffee ☕️. How it all began. By the 1890s, the Dutch people were already creating bike paths specialised for cyclists. Today, the Netherlands cycle network total length is above 35,000 kilometers (21,748 miles). National maps cover the entire nation cycleways. Some of the most beautiful cycle paths in the country we have biked are: * Hoog Veluwe National Park * The Dunes of Texel National Park and The Windmills at UNESCO Werelderfgoed Kinderdijk It’s not news. More and more people around the world know that a bicycle is an indispensable tool for urban life. Marrakech in Morocco is Africa’s first city to have introduced a bike-share scheme. The service is known as Medina. With innovation in the cycling industry increasing, the market is only going in one direction and sales of electric two-wheeled transport is nothing but on the up. What’s next for us this summer? For us or for anyone keen to work up a sweat, a stop we aim to visit in Europe this year is the wielerdroom, or velodrome, in Belgium. The Flemish sports agency Sport Vlaanderen houses a sports complex with an indoor racing track — it opened in late 2023. Events like the European Track Championships are scheduled to take place here in the next few years. In this flexible space people of all ages and fitness levels are welcome for a spin. We can’t wait to check it out! https://lnkd.in/e3dEwdqt #cycling #mobility #sports #futuremobility #jointheride
