The Bicycle Master Plan (2008-2016) is being updated by the City of Madrid. This measure will contribute to reducing overall car trips, decarbonising mobility in Madrid and thereby improving the overall health and air quality of the city.
In 2008, the City of Madrid adopted its Bicycle Master Plan (2008-2016). The plan boosted the development of a cycling infrastructure network, currently over 300km long, and also led to the implementation of BICIMAD - the city’s electric bike-sharing system.
Despite this, cycling levels remain at a very low rate (below 1% of all recorded journeys). This is particularly the case for trips to and from the peripheries. A higher perceived accident risk when cycling can explain this to some extent.
This measure will contribute to reducing overall car trips, decarbonising mobility in Madrid and thereby improving the overall health and air quality of the city.
The Bicycle Master Plan is being updated, with the shared use of road space in the demonstration area prioritised, specifically the peripheral district of Vallecas. Bike ownership is fostered through the implementation of innovative parking solutions for residents and for users of public transport hubs in the demonstration area. The potential of the Anillo Verde Ciclista (64km cycling ring road of cycling infrastructure surrounding the city) to boost cycling mobility in the area is analysed, as well as the chances for improving its connectivity with the demonstration area.
As part of the update of the Bicycle Master Plan and to achieve the goal of increasing bicycle trips, the following activities are being carried out:
Planning is done in cooperation with residents and local stakeholders, following a participatory approach organised through the cities Participative Budget. This approach almost guarantees citizen involvement.
