Bicycle Riding Should Be More Popular
The bicycle turned into a form of transport for every day from its original entertainment and exercising function. In Vienna, bikes are the quickest vehicles downtown when it comes to short trips up to five kilometers. Vienna’s goal is to raise the percentage of bike usage in all vehicles from 6 percent in 2010 to at least 8 percent. For this mission, the city focused on infastructures, especially the construction of a traffic net for bikes. Bike lane coverage in the city has reached a stunning 20 percent, for example in the inner Mariahilfer street.
