Bicycle Cities

By Troels Andersen, COWI A/S



One of the given conditions is that the bigger a city is the more dense people are living and the higher share cycling should be able to represent.



Copenhagen in close cooperation with their closest neighbour municipality Frederiksberg has a very high share of cycling. Odense is second to that despite the lack of real congestion troubles like in the capital. Århus has high ambitions of improving the current situation for cyclists. Copenhagen, Århus, Assens and Frederikshavn have free city bicycle schemes while others are planned.

Cities like Frederikshavn, Viborg and Silkeborg has joined together in a Nordic cycle project. A long number of medium sized Danish cities are expected to follow the line of cycle friendly cities – well stimulated by national economical funding stating year 2009.



Many Danish cities are not recognized as specific cycle friendly even though that lots of cycle paths and traffic calming schemes actually has been improving the conditions remarkably during 10 – 20 years. These cities mainly needs improving of missing links, handling of black spots, better cycle parking facilities and cycle promotion events
