cycling culture
Two-wheeled community ethos
Cycling culture encompasses the social practices, values, and identity that form around bicycle use in a community.
It includes infrastructure expectations, attitudes toward cyclists and drivers, fashion and equipment norms, and unwritten rules of the road.
Cities like Amsterdam and Copenhagen are celebrated for their strong cycling culture, where bikes are default transportation rather than recreation.
The city is investing in bike lanes to build cycling culture.
