Bucharest is set to expand its cycling infrastructure with the development of more than 550 kilometers of bike lanes by 2035, according to the new Velo Masterplan unveiled by interim general mayor Stelian Bujduveanu.

The strategic document, now finalized after months of consultations and public debates, outlines the creation of a citywide cycling network aimed at connecting homes with workplaces, schools, public institutions, and commercial areas. It includes 150 km of primary bike routes and 415 km of secondary routes.

Spain does a good job in public transit and cities like Barcelona work hard on keeping cars out.

Australia moves in the right direction. Although from a very low level.

You've got ludicrous helmet laws and declining bike mode share....sorry but Australia is moving in the wrong direction.

Germany is actually doing reasonably well on biking infrastructure growth. They haven't hit NL scale overhauls,.but the rate of biking there is climbing fast.

Growth? In my experience Germany has cycling infrastructure in nearly all reasonable places already. The problem is mainly quality, which is varying, with some truely horrible examples.
