Your guide to the

Velo-City 2015 - Nantes, June 2-5

In the Netherlands cycling is very common. Almost everybody cycles. It’s a safe, easy and comfortable way to move around. We have proper cycle paths, clear road marking, clear traffic regulations and plenty bicycle parking facilities. This makes cycling a convenient and safe mode of transport that costs little and is healthy too.The importance of cycling as a mode of transport is growing around the world. We notice this through the many requests we receive from other countries and cities, to help using the bicycle to create accessible and liveable cities and to realize sustainable urban mobility networks. It is our pleasure to contribute to these goals. With over 40 years of experience in bicycle policy and practical bicycle solutions, the Netherlands are a unique international testing ground. From all over the world, we welcome delegations that want to experience our cycling culture, to get inspired and to exchange knowledge and experiences. To help improving cycling locally, we also travel all around the world. You will find our Dutch cycling experts at Velo-City. In this brochure, they introduce themselves. We look forward to meeting you at our stand at Velo-City.

ProRail and Making way for the Bicycle

In 1999, ProRail launched the project Ruimte voor de Fiets(Making way for the Bicycle). To make the railroad trip from door to door easier and more comfortable, ProRail is improving bicycle parking facilities and solving bicycle parking problems at train stations, by replacing and expanding and better utilizing of existing facili-ties and building new ones. Since 1999, over 350,000 parking places have been built and renewed nationwide at over 400 train stations. The total number of parking places at train stations now numbers some 430,000, and this will increase to over 600,000 in the coming years. Parking facilities railway station Houten NL

Cycle kilometres (Ckm’s) travelled by bicycle are measured on a smart device and converted into a value that can be spent at participating stakeholders. Gamification elements push intrinsic motivation. The data cyclists gather with their smartphones are shared in an open platform with the highest respect for privacy.
