–Strasbourg, France suburban bicycle infrastructure–
To achieve true status as a “bicycle city,” a metropolitan area must integrate its outskirts and suburbs into a cohesive network. Providing all residents with safe, utilitarian access to the entire cityscape is a primary reason why Strasbourg is consistently ranked among Europe’s most bike-friendly destinations.
This ride highlights Strasbourg’s suburban infrastructure, featuring a seamless mix including: two-way bidirectional protected lanes (a concept the city pioneered in the early 1980s), sidewalk-level adjacent paths, and fietsstraats (bicycle streets) which are low-speed corridors where cyclists maintain priority over motor vehicles.
