How to get more bikes on the streets? We need traffic calming, specialists agree

Bicycles have been with us for almost two centuries. Over that time, they have become popular all over the world. However, in many regions, bicycles are mostly associated with so-called leisure cycling - a term which stands for cycling for the purpose of recreation, exercise or sport. Nevertheless, the potential of cycling is much bigger. In many cities, urban cycling forms a significant part of total urban mobility. In Vienna, for example, pedestrians and cyclists make up 30% of the total mobility. In Bratislava, on the other hand, urban cycling makes up only 1% of its total mobility. In order to find out more about this topic, I discussed it with sustainable and cycling mobility specialists at the occasion of a workshop on urban cycling development that took place in Bratislava at the beginning of July.
