A4: Germany becomes a country of cycling commuters – making cycling fast

Journey time is a major factor when it comes to choosing a means of transport. For towns, cities and districts, this means that making cycling fast is the essence of cycling promotion. With high-speed cycling links, cycles become an attractive alternative to the car even for journeys between urban and rural areas. But the toolkit of local authorities is much larger; planners can draw on a comprehensive repertoire of measures from the fields of city and traffic planning as well as architecture.
