The index has been keeping track of the developments in urban cycling infrastructure since 2011 and has been publishing regular updates on the changes in attitude, policy and financing related to cycling in cities across the world.

Local authorities have been pushing for the establishment of cycling as a predominant mode of transportation for years and are not showing any signs of stopping – especially taking into account the coronavirus crisis which has provided further impetus for the development of the city’s cycling infrastructure.
By embracing cycling as a viable alternative, the Danish capital is not only keeping itself safe and healthy but can also focus its economic recovery efforts on infrastructure projects that would make life better for all those who live in the city.
