We really have seen such a huge increase in cycling in East Oxford. These two green circled roads, running parallel, now have around 2.5k bikes per day.
Really recommend telraam traffic counters (community powered!) to track traffic.

With the spine already in place—a spectacular 6km seafront route—Limassol is developing a series of "green avenues" reserved for walking and cycling.
Three concentric half-circles of 4km, 8km, and 13km will link the city’s neighbourhoods with a parallel network of mobility and green infrastructure.

Why do men bike more than women in many countries?
A new study from Spain shows that the construction of a connected network of high-quality protected bike lanes helps to close this gender gap.
When we fail to build protected bike lanes, we keep women from riding bikes.

Cycling home from work is such a great way to destress. The steady motion, the fresh air, and the quiet rhythm of the ride help shake off the day’s stress. The cool breeze and the changing scenery make the commute feel less like a routine and more like a well-earned reset.

In the NL and Denmark, 55% of cycling trips are by women, but in unsafe road environments, men dominate. The issue lies in policies, infrastructure, and culture. TandEM Women in Cycling empowers women with skills, confidence, and community to drive change.

Definitely a choice. What Paris is doing about this issue isn't because they have so much money. It's because leaders there decided that people getting run over and breathing exhaust in front of schools was actually worse than car owners being inconvenienced. Sadly, authorities in the UK disagree.

Commuting by bicycle in Belgium pays off as employees earn compensation for every km they ride. 1 in 6 employees commute by bike and get a bicycle allowance of €0.28/km. People cycling to work in 2024 earned an average of around €460 net per year (some as high as €810), up 20% over the past year.

One in five people in Flanders commuted by bike and received compensation last year, but this figure is significantly lower in Brussels and Wallonia.
