Abstract

It was not until the late 1970s that cyclists and pedestrians began to figure in transport planning. Following the 'energy crisis' a number of schemes to improve cycling facilities were put forward in Europe. In Britain the 1977 Transport White Paper provided funds under the Innovatory Projects Budget and by 1992 eighty schemes had been introduced. The effects of such schemes are considered, in particular whether there was an increase in the number of cyclists. Experience in the use of cycle paths and other cycling facilities is examined. Sharing paths with pedestrians, on-road cycling and personal security are discussed. It is concluded that cycling facilities, if well designed, can improve safety for the cyclist. Improvements should not be made at the expense of pedestrians however and should always be regularly maintained.
