This figure is set to increase to 75 percent by 2050. The city is the living con- cept for the future. Ideas are developed in these dynamic centers. This is where change is initiated. This is where trends are set. However, cities also face great challenges: air pollution, shortages in water and energy supply, lack of space, conge- sted streets. The list is long. Solutions are needed. Electromobility can make a significant contribution to sustainable city development and a liveable urban environment. Pedelecs in particular offer great opportunities. They help to save on resources and emissions as well as to reduce noise. Rethinking has already started. The city as the center of life and meeting place is increasingly becoming the center of fo- cus.

Moreover, the city invests in the expansion, signposting and safety of bicycle routes. Today, Munich is the city with the longest network of dedicated cycle lanes in Germany. Munich has also recognized the benefits of electromobility, Length of bicycle lane network: particularly over short distances. Since April 2016, the city has 1,200 kilometers provided financial support to companies purchasing electric ve- hicles. Specifically, a company purchasing pedelecs for instance, receives up to €500 per bike. The city of Munich has earmarked some €22 million for this purpose. Some bicycle retailers have seized the opportunity and are offering eBikes for lease. By 2021, cyclists are expected to account for 25 percent of inner-city traffic. 80 percent of all Munichers own a bicycle; almost half use it at least once a week. 08 09 Inside The City 1 2 3 My Local Life The Aroma Coffee Shop The Eisbach The Chinese Tower Christoph starts his day relaxing with a glass of freshly pressed Munich's wildwater surfing spot is a place to marvel at – ideal If you want to meet for an open-air lunch with friends or juice.

  • The Colorado Safety Stop
    Updated 02-02-2021 1 The Colorado Safety Stop What is the Safety Stop? The Safety Stop creates a safer way for people on bikes to cross at intersections when they have the right of way. The maneuver allows people riding bicycles to: ● treat stop signs as yield signs. ● treat stop lights as stop signs. The Safety Stop does not impact the current right-of-way whatsoever. Bicycles can proceed straight, right, or left at a reasonable speed of no more than 15 miles per hour only when the coast is clear. Why make this legal statewide? The Safety Stop has a number of benefits, including the fact that it: ● is cost-neutral, safety-enhancing policy. ● encourages people to ride for transportation, protecting and enhancing our air quality. ● attracts tourism and increases livability. ● allows police to focus on major infractions (e.g. reckless endangerment) rather than common behaviors. Most importantly, it’s safer for bicyclists and motorists alike. Research shows that the Safety Stop: ● Reduces interactions between motorists and bicyclists in intersections. ● Reduces crashes in intersections. ● Increases the visibility of bicyclists in the intersection. ● Reduces the number of bicyclist-only injuries associated with starting and stopping on a bicycle. Additionally, adopting the safety stop decriminalizes a common-sense behavior for bicyclists, taking a potential crime off the books. This also frees up law enforcement resources to focus on bigger, more pressing issues. Conversations with law enforcement officials across the state indicate this is not a crime they currently enjoy focusing on. Finally, Colorado’s current system for adopting the Safety Stop on a community-by-community basis creates a dangerous patchwork of places where this is and is not allowed.

Received: 29 August 2019; Accepted: 5 November 2019; Published: 7 November 2019 Abstract: Public bike share (PBS) systems are meant to be a sustainable urban mobility solution in areas where different travel options and the practice of active transport modes can diminish the need on the vehicle and decrease greenhouse gas emission. Although PBS systems have been included in transportation plans in the last decades experiencing an important development and growth, it is crucial to know the main enablers and barriers that PBS systems are facing to reach their goals. In this paper, first, sentiment analysis techniques are applied to user generated content (UGC) in social media comments (Facebook, Twitter and TripAdvisor) to identify these enablers and barriers. This analysis provides a set of explanatory variables that are combined with data from official statistics and the PBS observatory in Spain. As a result, a statistical model that assesses the connection between PBS use and certain characteristics of the PBS systems, utilizing sociodemographic, climate, and positive and negative opinion data extracted from social media is developed.

INTRODUCTION On urban roadways built for motorists, how best to accommodate the urban cyclist? That intrepid soul who dares to brave the shared space of the road on two wheels, yet all too commonly endures the wrath of those on four. The cyclist may choose to commute by bike because of personal choice, wanting to do her part in battling climate change, or to increase her fitness. As compared to driving, cycling has lower economic cost and can enhance access and opportunity to the benefits of the city for those with less means (or those who choose to spend them elsewhere), such as em- ployment, education, culture, and community.

  • The Rebirth of Bicycling Law?
    The RebiRTh of bicycling law? Christopher Waters * This article sketches the “law of wheelmen” as it developed in the late 19th century and suggests that, with the renaissance of cycling in North America, it is time to renew focus on the legal issues of cyclists. A comprehensive analysis of cycling’s legal needs across a range of issues – from legislation to enforcement and infrastructure – is in order and this article suggests an agenda for undertaking this analysis. For health, environmental and cultural issues, cycling is growing and the law and legal actors need to grapple with this means of active transit in a way that has not been done since before the automobile era. Cet article présente dans les grandes lignes le « droit des cyclistes » tel qu’il s’est développé à la fin du XIX e siècle. Il y est suggéré qu’avec le regain d’intérêt pour le cyclisme en Amérique du Nord, il est opportun de se pencher de nouveau sur les questions juridiques dans ce domaine. Il importe ainsi d’ effectuer une analyse complète des besoins juridiques liés au cyclisme à travers une série de questions allant des infrastructures à la législation et à son application. Cet article suggère un ordre du jour pour entreprendre cette analyse. Pour des raisons de santé, environnementales et culturelles, le cyclisme est en plein essor. Le droit et ses acteurs doivent en découdre avec ce moyen de transport actif, tout comme cela a été le cas du temps où ce moyen de transport était roi. 1. Introduction In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, bicycling law, or “the law of wheelmen” as it was known at the time, was a distinct subject.

  • Measures to Address Traffic Enforcement and Bicycle Safety
    Page 1 of 6 ACTION CALENDAR October 29, 2019 To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council From: Councilmember Rigel Robinson Subject: Referral: Measures to Address Traffic Enforcement and Bicycle Safety RECOMMENDATION 1. Refer to the Transportation Commission to consider a Resolution deprioritizing enforcement of the Idaho Stop and Dead Red conventions for persons operating a bicycle, after the operator has yielded to any other road users with the right of way, by prohibiting the use of any City funds or resources in assisting in the enforcement or issuance of citations for bicyclist violations of California Vehicle Code Sections 22450(a) and 21453(a). 2. Refer to the City Manager to develop a ticket diversion program to educate bicyclists as an alternative to monetary fines related to other infractions, and to ensure integration of Vision Zero principles in implementation of state Office of Traffic Safety grants. 3. Refer to the City Manager to develop a plan to calm and divert motor vehicle traffic on bicycle boulevards to provide people who bicycle and walk a safe, comfortable and convenient mobility experience by adding or reconfiguring stop signage and other traffic calming measures, per the recommendations of the 2017 Bicycle Plan. SUMMARY The proposed Resolution seeks to improve safety and incentivize bicycling by creating common-sense traffic enforcement priorities that align with our stated Vision Zero goals. This item further asks staff to create a ticket diversion program for bicyclists and explore adding and reconfiguring traffic calming measures and stop signage to maximize the efficiency of travel on bicycle boulevards. BACKGROUND Currently, VEH Section 21200 requires bicyclists and other pedal-operated vehicle riders to abide by the same laws as motorists.
