Inventé au XIXe siècle, souvent négligé dans la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle, le vélo connaît actuellement une renaissance dans de nombreuses villes occidentales. Comme moyen de transport, il ne manque pas d'atouts : silencieux, sain, propre, économe en surface et bon marché. Dans une société que l'on dit hypermobile mais où plus de la moitié des trajets ne dépasse pas les cinq kilomètres, le vélo présente un potentiel intéressant. Sa promotion est de plus en plus intégrée dans les agendas politiques ou du moins dans les discours. Mais qu'en est-il sur le terrain ? Comment est vécue la pratique utilitaire du vélo ? Cet ouvrage se base sur une enquête d'une grande ampleur à laquelle ont répondu près de 14 000 participants à l'action bike to work répartis dans l'ensemble de la Suisse. Il propose une grille de lecture pour comprendre les différentes dimensions qui influencent le recours au vélo et la diversité de ses usages. Il aborde les facteurs qui motivent des pendulaires à enfourcher leur bicyclette. Il montre également les obstacles que rencontre cette pratique entre infrastructures déficientes et manque de légitimité. Cette enquête pose un diagnostic et discute des pistes d'action pour accompagner cette forme de mobilité durable.

Many jurisdictions around the world are trying to retain or increase the share of cycling in urban traffic in order to benefit from the many health and transport efficiency benefits. Safety is a key concern and should be accounted for in these policies. This report of the International Transport Forum's Cycling Safety Working Group monitors international trends in cycling, safety and policy, and explores options that may help decision makers design safe environments for cycling. Key messages relate to strategic goal-setting for cycling policy and managing crash risks while increasing health benefits. The report also discusses how to better capture crash and bicycle usage statistics. The safety impacts of a wide range of pro-cycling measures are examined in detail.
