This volume addresses key contemporary aspects in cycling policy,
practice and research. Cycling has seen a sharp increase in scientific
and policy attention in the past decade. The amount of research has
surged over the past couple decades. Also, levels of cycling have
increased substantially in many countries and cities, and many areas
have seen increases in infrastructure investments. In addition, the last
decade has seen innovations in bicycle technology, in particularly the
rise of electric-assist (e-bikes) and dock-less bike sharing schemes.
This volume reviews the state of the art on cycling from various angles.
As such it explores planners' (engineers', policy makers') provisions
for cycling, of cyclists' (and non-cyclists') travel behaviour, and
resulting consequences for individuals and society. One focus is on
demand-side aspects, including the use of bicycles and their users
including patterns and trends in cycling, determinants of cycling, and
modelling of cycling. Another focus is on impacts of cycling, such as
emissions, safety aspects, as well as changes during the COVID pandemic.
