\"DSC_2346\"<\/a>Dutch build multistory bike park in Utrecht.\u00a0 You’ve heard of\u00a0multistory car parks, indeed most of us have used them.\u00a0 The Dutch have gone one stage further and built one for bikes.\u00a0 12,500 of them and not just ordinary bikes but also the cargo bikes that are so popular there.\u00a0 The Dutch railway service is building the multistory bike park.<\/p>\n

The reason is future proofing and a big national drive to improve cycling infrastructure.\u00a0 Cycling use already historically high is exploding in the Netherlands where 25% of all trips to work are made by bike.\u00a0 However 60% of all journeys are made by car though and the aim is to cut this.<\/p>\n

On my two trips to the Netherlands I was very impressed by the cycling infrastructure.\u00a0 There is such a strong cycling culture.\u00a0 Unlike here you’d see an entire school worth of pupils cycling rather than just the odd brave soul.\u00a0 Young and old all cycle and bikes are for hire everywhere.<\/p>\n

Of course the country is very flat, the weathers pretty good.\u00a0\u00a0 But there is another factor in the Dutch success.\u00a0 The segregated cycle lane.\u00a0 The Dutch have had these since the 1880’s.\u00a0 There is clearly more to it than segregation though.\u00a0 Stevenage built a network of Dutch style cycling lanes and cycling hasn’t taken off there.\u00a0 Livingston also has a comprehensive network too and I saw little evidence the few times I’ve been there.\u00a0 There’s something else going on.\u00a0 So much so that the Dutch have decided to add cycling to its\u00a0 inventory of intangible heritage<\/a>.<\/p>\n
