bicycle culture
Cycling community ethos
Bicycle culture refers to the social environment, practices, and values surrounding cycling as a primary mode of transportation or lifestyle.
Cities with strong bicycle culture—Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Portland—feature dedicated infrastructure, social norms favoring cyclists, and communities organized around biking: The city's bicycle culture makes car ownership unnecessary.
The term often implies environmental consciousness and urban planning that prioritizes human-powered transit over automobiles.
