3 Basic data on cycling Cycling infrastructre Cycle tracks : 85 kms Cycle lanes: 51 kms Cycle road: 5 kms Greenway: 38 kms Estimated share of cycling in modal split: 8-10 % Number of bicycle racks: 10000

4 Ljubljana bypad score Level 2: Isolated approach Robinson Crusoe principle: There is already a cycling policy, but it is neither integrated into the overall transport policy nor in other policy fields such as land use, health, environmental policy. Good infrastructure is the main concern of the policy, although some supplementary activities are undertaken. Cycling policy is characterised by some use of data and a limited knowledge of the users needs, global agreements with a limited compulsory character, measures which are often counterproductive, because they are not tuned to the needs of other road users or not integrated into the objectives of other policy fields. Continuity isn t safeguarded.
