Preface

mark are still modest. An important

explanation for this is the develop-

ment in the course of the last centu-

ry of a robust bicycle culture. Today,

one trip out of ﬁve in Denmark is by

bicycle.

Not only road administrations, but

also companies, institutions, scho-

ols, associations etc, must contribute

to changing our attitudes to trans-

port and making it more acceptable

to cycle. The individual advantages

are big. Half an hour’s cycling daily

increases our mean life expectancy

by 1-2 years and gives better quality

of life, both physically and mentally.

The future role of the bicycle must

also be strong in order to create a

sustainable society. It is important to

develop an infrastructure that per-

mits the optimal exploitation of the

bicycle’s qualities and possibilities.

There are many measures that can

be taken to improve cyclist safety. In

spite of this, the accident risk for

Danish cyclists has not changed

over the past 25 years. It is necessa-

ry to approach the problem more

systematically and introduce propo-

sed solutions at places and among

target groups where they will have

the greatest impact.

Promotion of more and safer bicycle

traffic produces healthier road users

and helps to create better towns.

Collection of Cycle Concepts pre-

sents some ideas on how to increase

the use of bicycles and how to pre-

vent bicycle accidents.

A larger share of the short trips in

towns can take place by bicycle. The

car is often indispensable on longer

trips. The bicycle can not be alone.

Intermodality is important. The right

balance of good roads and paths for

pedestrians, cyclists and motorists

can create better towns without

losing the interaction between

modes of transport.

The main challenge in promoting

more and safer bicycle traffic is the

need to implement a wide range of

measures simultaneously. I therefore

invite the reader to consider the

many ideas contained in Collection

of Cycle Concepts – and be inspired

of those ideas, which apply to local

conditions.

The bicycle can more often be used

as feeder traffic for coach, bus, train

and plane on longer trips. This calls

for safe and functional access roads

and terminals with good possibilities

for interchanges.

The growth in car traffic is creating

environmental problems and conge-

stion. Compared to other countries

in Europe traffic problems in Den-
