We militate to increase the use of bicycles in cities: what cities can
do?
- Create a Bicycle Program within the city
government. Progressive cities have
dedicated bike Programs which work actively to
make cycling safer and to increase the number of
cyclists on the road.
- Adequately fund the Bicycle Program.
A Bike Program does no good if it's underfunded.
It must have sufficient staff and resources to
execute its mission.
- Make any roadway design, redesign, or
construction go through the Bicycle Program
before being approved. It's crucial that the
Bike Program be involved in roadway planning so
that it can identify problems with bike access
and cost-effective ways to address those
problems. Here again, if a city simply creates a
Bike Program but continues its old
roadway-building as usual by leaving the
cyclists out of the loop, you can't expect much
change.
- Task the Bicycle Program with developing
a comprehensive, long-term plan for improving
cycling access. For example, here's
the
plan for Dublin, Ireland.
- Ban parking in bike lanes.
Fortunately few cities are so short-sighted as
to allow motor vehicles to park in bike lanes,
but unfortunately some do. Probably nothing
sends a stronger message that a city doesn't
care about bike access if it lets cars park in
the one place that's supposed to be for
bikes.
- Require bike lanes on all new
roadways. It's often difficult to install
bike lanes on existing roadways because of space
constraints. But on new roadways, there should
be no excuse. Amend the city code to require
this obvious improvement.
- Install bike parking racks throughout the
city, especially in downtown areas. The
ability to easily park a bike makes cycling more
attractive.
- Require sufficient bike parking at all
new developments, and at existing large
commercial property.
- Require the largest employers in the area
to provide bike racks, lockers, and showers to
employees who want to bike to work.
- Create "Bicycle Boulevards". These
are streets with barriers that allow cyclists to
pass through but not cars. When the street is no
longer a thoroughfare for cars, it becomes a
more attractive and safer place for cyclists.
