Seriously, watch this short video. To see how to effectively make the case for protected bike-lanes, and particularly how they’re good for business. Or just as a great example of how to speak to any city council.

The biggest takeaway from Seville’s bike boom?
Always think at the network level.
To establish it as a viable mobility choice, cycle infrastructure must be treated as a series of connections—like roads or rails—designed with continuity, cohesion, visibility and comfort in mind.
“A network is only as strong as its weakest link”, is the best way to explain the importance of intersections in cycle planning.
Dutch engineers have spent years establishing best practice for safe intersection design as part of a coherent cycle network.
