A 2009 report on recent bicycle policy in European cities. [Well worth scanning. MH]
Excerpt: "As the project comes to an end we can conclude that huge strides have been
made. All the partner cities have improved their cycling policy. All of them
now have a public bicycle system, even though Barcelona and Bucharest had
not even planned for these at the start of the project. Berlin has enthused us
all with its leadership in cycling planning. Bucharest and Ploiesti have been
inspirational—their approach to local partnerships and to communication
and awareness-raising programmes has provided a model for cities of a similar
size and background, and their experiences are reflected in the brochure “Cycling
in Eastern European Cities”, which was produced in Polish, Hungarian,
Romanian and Czech. Rome showed us that determination leads to results,
even in the most complicated circumstances, and Göteborg has been a trailblazer
in many areas, with its excellent communication projects, bicycle highways
and advanced bike-counting systems."
