Sammanfattning
The project »Odense: The National Cycling City of Denmark« demonstrates in an urban setting the potential for promoting cycling as a means of transport. Bicycle traffic in the city has increased by 20%, and at the same time accidents involving cyclists have been reduced by 20%. Thus cycling can be health-promoting, and on a large scale injuries can also be reduced. Empirical studies show that the bicycle is not only a means of transport but a form of transport which makes it possible to combine the desire for health, physical well-being and the experience of rural and urban spaces with independence in transport.
