Part of Toronto will soon be transformed into a 'Dutch-style' intersection. Safety is improved by moderating turn speeds, increasing separation between modes, and enhancing visibility of vulnerable road users.

Every dollar invested in cycling returns 20 or 30 in social economic benefits: reduced carbon, air and noise pollution, improved public health and less congestion. Cycling brings benefits to everyone in a city, whether or not they get on a bike.

In Dutch cities and towns, one of the features that first stands out to international visitors is the use of the continuous cycle path. Rather than treating humans as guests in the car space, the opposite occurs, and the cycle path is seamless by design.

Why do so few Dutch cyclists wear helmets? "There's safety in infrastructure, behavior and numbers; rather than protective equipment. It proves you can have safety without equipment, because it really lies in your street design and road safety policies."

After the Netherlands swore in its new government, the Prime Minister of fourteen years left office on a bicycle. With 35,000 kilometers of separated cycle tracks and 23.9 million bicycles, cycling is an integral part of everyday life in the Netherlands. 🎥 Mies

The EU released a new declaration on cycling. The proposed declaration elevates cycling to a strategic priority and formally recognizes the vital role cycling can play in decarbonizing the transport sector.

During COVID-19 lockdowns, the cars were temporarily removed from this street in Utrecht to provide pedestrians in the city centre with more space. This measure proved to be such a success that it became a permanent arrangement in 2022.

The F1 Dutch Grand Prix weekend starts today in the town of Zandvoort. And despite its relatively remote location on the sea (with strong winds and rain in the forecast), upwards of 45,000 fans ride their bikes there each day. The pop-up cycle parking outside of the race track.

Witness the transformation of Utrecht's inner ring road as it evolves into a vibrant city boulevard. The city converted the busy traffic road into a safe road with greenery, with priority to sustainable means of transport. Captured by Mark Wagenbuur

Cycling isn't just transportation; it's liberation. The Dutch have not only created a safe and extensive network for cycling. They designed this network to make cycling safe and suitable for people of all ages, all abilities and for different types of bicycles.

"Every dollar invested in cycling returns 20 or 30 in social economic benefits: reduced carbon, air and noise pollution, improved public health and less congestion. Cycling brings benefits to everyone in a city, whether or not they get on a bike." WATCH:

"After fifty years of working towards a safe, sustainable, and inclusive road system, the Netherlands has made fatality rates for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicle occupants all converge at a very low level... and it is an incredible achievement." WATCH:

"It's not about creating a car-free city, but making walking, cycling and public transportation—in combination with each other—the first choice for a lot of people. And everyone who lives in that city will ultimately benefit... especially drivers." WATCH:

"The future of cycling is actually not so much about cycling, but about the future of cities. Cycling is not the goal in itself; it's a fantastic transformational tool to make cities more resilient, sustainable, social, safe, wealthy, healthy and happy."

"First thing you'll notice being in the center of Utrecht: it's a city of about 400,000 people, and it's almost perfectly silent because cyclists and pedestrians are the predominant forms of traffic." DCE’s Chris Bruntlett was interviewed by 3sat:

August marks the five-year anniversary of the grand opening of the world’s largest bicycle parking garage in Utrecht. During peak times, an average of two bicycles a second are entering and exiting the garage.

Planners who apply the principle of DIRECTNESS may reduce cyclists' average commuting time, and as such, promote bicycle use. Especially in congested urban areas, the bicycle can prove to be a competitive alternative to the car, in terms of journey time.
