In recent years, Kyiv has seen a drastic increase in both cyclists on the road and cycling infrastructure. Andriy Schular, architect and co-founder of Urban Curators agency explains how his team created the first map that the Kyiv City Department of Architecture & Urban Planning used as a template for the construction of cycling lanes. He also explains why the development of cycling infrastructure is important for a city like Kyiv. Anastasia Mararenko, executive director of U-Cycling, an NGO that promotes cycling as a safe and convenient mode of transport, explains what it means for a city to have convenient and safe cycling infrastructure.

Створення комфортної велоінфраструктури справді може врятувати місто від транспортного колапсу. В Києві з‘являється багато нових людей і будується житлових комплексів. Якщо головним засобом пересування буде лише авто, нас чекає дуже неприємна ситуація на дорогах.
Головний виклик — як зробити пересування велосипедом безпечним та відносно комфортним взимку, у снігопад та туман?
Thanks a lot for a positive evaluation of our work we do at Kyiv City Administration, Sector for Cycling Infrastructure. Anyway, I would recommend you to take the comment from the city authorities as well next time to see the whole picture of such an important issue.
The solution for the problem of vehicles parked on bike lanes, coincidentally also solves the problem of speeding:
By extending the curb towards the road, placing the bike lane on top, you automatically create a curb protected bike lane which bars vehicles from parking and (visually) narrowing the road – resulting in a traffic calming perk.
Sad video to be recommended today 💔
Sad that cycling infrastructure wouldn't be the number one priority now.
найцікавіше те що всі велосипедисти в місті не досягли 14 ліття і тепер дякуючи Кличку я зрозумів що тротур проектовано для паркоки авто та їзди велобайкерів щиро дякую
I hope the war ends soon and they can rebuild a walkable and bikeable city
