Summary:

The book illustrates urban and architectural bicycle traffic projects which go far beyond purely redesigning road layouts; its eight essays focus on the trend in urban design, landscape design, and traffic planning, it introduces nine exemplary concepts in various cities (Barcelona, Copenhagen, Münster, New York, and Paris amongst others), and presents 28 forward-looking individual bicycle infrastructure projects.
