The bicycle relieves cities and agglomerations. It takes up little space and produces neither noise nor CO2. But cycling in urban traffic is still dangerous and discourages many. What does it take to make cycling the transport mode of choice for children and senior citizens, the inexperienced and commuters? How do infrastructures and rules need to be changed so that cycling can fulfil its potential and improve the quality of life in cities? Journalist Peter Röthlisberger welcomes experts and stakeholders to the Mobility Forum.
How much space can bicycles take up in the city? How do you get bicycle, car and pedestrian traffic past each other? What will mobility in cities look like in the future?
