Synopsis

The population demands liveable cities and communities. For more and more people, this also includes better and safer conditions for cycling. Many in city administrations and politics are now aware of this: there is hardly a city that does not rely on "bicycle promotion". However, the noble promises often follow only lukewarm deeds. The car still has priority in everyday life; arguments why "it does not work" are quickly at hand. Compared to more and more cities around the world, implementation in Switzerland and Germany continues to hap: outdated planning concepts and an overly hesitant policy are opposed to effective and rapid bicycle support. Fortunately, there are more and more successful counterexamples: cities that play a pioneering role. The model for the book are in particular the Netherlands and the city of Amsterdam. The authors are convinced: the traffic turn towards more bikes is possible and necessary. However, a real turn causes the change of habits and a look that questions the »System Auto« and sees alternatives. What it takes is an understanding of the contexts of how traffic works, the right arguments and answers, and tips and tricks for successful implementation. This offers the book and makes it the basis of the "Velowende" in Switzerland and Germany. The book shows how thanks to the Velowende space on the roads for the diverse needs and thus for a better quality of life for all.
