Bicycles as a means of transport in cities are playing an ever more important role. The reasons are: reduction of motorcar traffic, sustainable traffic planning, reduction of noise and exhaust emissions, enhancement of the value of public space, healthier form of transport, savings potential in national health services and infrastructure expenditure. The book illustrates urban design ideas and architectural projects which go far beyond purely redesigning road layouts; its eight essays focus on the trend in urban design, landscape design, and traffic planning, it introduces nine exemplary bicycle traffic concepts in various cities (Barcelona, Copenhagen, New York, and Oslo amongst others), and presents 28 forward-looking individual bicycle infrastructure projects. Der Radverkehr nimmt weltweit eine immer bedeutendere Rolle in der Stadt ein. Gründe hierfür sind: Entlastung des automobilen Straßenverkehrs, nachhaltige Verkehrsplanung, Reduzierung von Lärm- und Abgasemission, Aufwertung des öffentlichen Raumes, individuelle Gesundheitsvorsorge sowie volkswirtschaftliche Einsparpotentiale bei Gesundheits- und Infrastrukturkosten. Das Buch zeigt urbanistische Ideen und architektonische Projekte auf, die weit über einen reinen Umbau des Verkehrs hinausgehen: Es geht in acht Essays städtebaulichen, landschafts- und verkehrsplanerischen Aspekten dieses Trends nach, stellt neun vorbildliche Radverkehrskonzepte verschiedener Städte vor (u.a. Barcelona, Kopenhagen, Münster, New York, Paris) und präsentiert 28 wegweisende Rad-Infrastruktur-Einzelprojekte.

In an effort to fight climate change, many cities try to boost their cycling levels. They often look towards the Dutch for guidance. However, historians have only begun to uncover how and why the Netherlands became the premier cycling country of the world. Why were Dutch cyclists so successful in their fight for a place on the road? Cycling Pathways explores the long political struggle that culminated in today’s high cycling levels. Delving into the archives, it uncovers the important role of social movements and shows in detail how these interacted with national, provincial, and urban engineers and policymakers to govern the distribution of road space and construction of cycling infrastructure. It discusses a wide range of topics, ranging from activists to engineering committees, from urban commuters to recreational cyclists and from the early 1900s to today in order to uncover the long and all-but-forgotten history of Dutch cycling governance.

Hoe de fiets de stad kan redden? Van New York tot Singapore en van Parijs tot São Paolo: in alle grote steden van de wereld nemen fietsers de straat in bezit naar het voorbeeld van Amsterdam en Kopenhagen. Van fietskoeriers met doodsverachting tot modebewuste jongeren op hippe karretjes of gewoon forenzen op weg naar hun werk: fietsen is meer dan alleen een alternatieve vervoersmogelijkheid. Het is praktisch, het is groen, het is cool. Cycle Space is het eerste boek dat de internationale fietsbeweging verbindt met misschien wel de grootste ontwerpuitdaging van de 21ste eeuw: het realiseren van een duurzame stad. Dit boek analyseert stedelijke fietsculturen en laat zien hoe deze tot succesvolle ontwerpstrategieën kunnen worden omgezet. Hoogleraar architectuur en fietsfanaat Steven Fleming laat zien dat we moeten begrijpen waarom mensen voor de fiets kiezen, om te zien hoe de fiets kan bijdragen aan het terugdringen van luchtverontreiniging, reistijden, gezondheidsrisico’s en het opslokken van steeds meer land door de stad. Met fietsportretten van acht grote steden toont Cycle Space hoe de fietser de stad kan redden. How the bicycle can save the cit? From New York to Singapore, from Copenhagen to Sydney, from Chicago to Amsterdam, and from São Paolo to Budapest, there is a groundswell of cyclists taking to the streets of major cities. Whether death-defying bike messengers, hipsters with a taste for cycle chic, or commuters simply cycling to work, cycling is viewed as more than just an alternative. It’s practical. It’s cool. It’s green. With portraits of major cities and their cycling cultures, Cycle Space is the first book to view the city through the lens of the bicycle, and offer a new ways of designing better cities. Cycle space is where architecture and urban design can begin to optimise conditions for cycling, and take inspiration from the aesthetics and ethics of cycling as well. It is where cities can begin reducing emissions, commute times, ill-health and sprawl. In Cycle Space, architecture professor and cycling nut Steven Fleming argues that understanding why people are choosing bikes is key for discovering the full potential of the bicycle as a transformative force in the design of our cities.
