  • A bicycle map is more than simply a depiction of the local bicycle lane network. It gives recommendations for routes, informs about the quality of paths, the volume of traffic, bicycle parking or bike access. A highquality bicycle map also provides information about various cycling-related topics such as cycling in the urban context or bicycle signage. It also serves as a concrete indication of a city’s support A bicycle map is the best way to promote cycling, to provide the best knowledge of the local cycling situation, and to express a city’s commitment to cycling. All cyclist groups, whether recreational cyclists, regular cyclists, inexperienced or non-cyclists (potential cyclists) benefit from a well prepared bicycle map. Maps inform about the best route to reach a destination safely, quickly and in the most comfortable way, and may also address other cycling-related issues. A side benefit of creating a bike route map is that announcements in local newspapers and involvement of the public through participation in workshops help to create interest in the task and awareness for cycling.
