  • Bicycling Info

    This US-website proves to be a treasure trove for policy makers and designers - be it that the American situation is not always convertible elsewhere

  • The Dutch Reference Study. Cases of interventions in bicycle infrastructure reviewed in the framework of Bikeability.

    The Netherlands have a tradition of high bicycle usage and a long history of research on effective policies for promoting cycling. Findings in Dutch studies can be useful in the Danish Bikeability-project that has the objective to increase the level of knowledge in relation to bicycle based transport and to contribute to more efficient and qualified urban planning and management. This report discusses a number of Dutch case studies on the effects of investments in bicycle infrastructure. The reviewed studies include the three ‘classical’ cases in the 20th century: rather large investments in the cities of Tilburg, The Hague and Delft that were evaluated extensively by before and after studies. Other, smaller and more recent cases include the evaluation of shared space, a bicycle street, and interurban highways for cyclists. A general conclusion is that policies can be effective in sustaining high levels of cycling and strengthening cycling culture.

  • The Bicycle lift Trampe

    Site on the bicycle elevator functioning in Trondheim already for several years. A survey shows that the users are content. But until now this example has not been copied elsewhere.

  • European Cyclist Federation

    This organisation represents all national cyclists federations and is therefore a valuable counterpart for Fietsberaad

  • Research lab - Bicycle Dynamics

    A very technical site of the Technical University of Delft about the movement of bicycles and the modeling of these movements: How is it possible that an object so unstable at rest stays becomes very stable when moving

  • Rails to trails

    This US-organisation converts railways to bike trails. Raisl to trails is also becoming more and more active in realising cycle paths in urban situations

  • Cycling city, cycling towns

    The Cycling Demonstration Towns programme was developed to prove that increased funding and bespoke projects could have a significant impact on cycling rates - and results have exceeded expectations. On average, across all towns, cycling has increased by 27%.

  • Nationale fietshandleiding - Ierland

    Deze handleiding omarmt de "Principles of Sustainable Safety" omdat dit een veilige verkeersomgeving biedt voor alle weggebruikers waaronder fietsers. De handleiding dient als gids hoe de fiets kan worden geïntegreerd in het ontwerp van stedelijke gebieden en daagt planners en ingenieurs uit om meer dan voorheen rekening te houden met de fiets.

  • Cases of interventions in bicycle infrastructure reviewed in the framework of Bikeability

    Resultaten van een studie naar enkele Nederlandse fietscases uit de jaren 70 en 80 van de vorige eeuw voor het Deense Bikeability-project, te weten fietsroute Den Haag, fietsroute Tilburg en Fietsnetwerk Delft. Ook wordt kort ingegaan op shared space in Haren en komt een fietsstraat in Haarlem aan de orde.

    Verzameling oude en nieuwe filmpjes over het karakteristiek van fietsverkeer in Nederland.

  • Cycling Resource Centre

    An Australian information hub with a huge and up to date overview of worldwilde documents on cycling policies.

  • Research articles on Bicycle stability

    A research group of Delft University (TU Delft) conducts research on bicycle stability. The link leads to a website with their results.

  • What do cyclists need to see to avoid single-bicycle crashes?

    Award-winning article about increasing cyclist traffic safety  by giving more attention to the visibility of obstacles and pavement markings.

  • BicycleDutch: Showing you what NL Cycling is about

    Blog of Mark Wagenbuur. He shows the world Dutch cycling and Dutch cycling infrastructure with videos and texts.

  • CROW publication 221. Urban design and traffic – a selection from Bach´s toolbox

    Urban planners and traffic managers, each working from their respective specialist fields, can create districts that enjoy smoothly flowing traffic and are enjoyable places to be. The development or reconstruction of such districts, however, has to pay due attention to traffic safety, mobility and quality of life. This publication offers a comprehensive exploration and explanation of the issues involved. The result? A sustainable city that offers good quality of life and traffic safety, where the people who live and work there take centre stage.

  • Road safety manual

    This manual clusters all the knowledge about road safety in the Netherlands. Part 1 seeks to get a handle on the subject of road safety. Part 2 addresses measures that can be taken, focusing on engineering, education and enforcement, and push, pull and persuasion. Part 3 presents an overview of practical problems and how these can be tackled.

  • ASVV - recommendations for traffic provisions in built-up areas

    Collected in this publication is the knowledge relating to design, implementation and management of traffic provisions in built-up areas.

  • Design manual for bicycle traffic

    In order to retain the bicycle’s rightful position within the traffic system and, where possible, to strengthen it, a bicycle-friendly infrastructure is needed. The new CROW-record 25 entitled ‘Design manual for bicycle traffic’ describes the steps required to achieve such an infrastructure. It is a revision of record 10 ‘Sign up for the bike’.
