Zusammenfassung
The article reviews trends in bicycle use, traffic safety and policies to promote and foster cycling in the USA and Canada over the last two decades with a focus on nine large cities (Chicago, Minneapolis, Montréal, New York, Portland, San Francisco, Toronto, Vancouver, and Washington). In general it assesses an increase of bicycle use and a decrease of cyclist fatalities especially in these cities due to a wide range of infrastructure programmes such as the extension and improving of bike lanes, installation of bike sharing systems and bike-transit integration. Furthermore, the article shows that there is a high variation in bicycle use determined by socioeconomic inequality, so that cycling is much more prominent in areas around universities and gentrified parts.
