    Cycling Strategies in the province of


    Groningen
    Overwiev
    • Groningen is one the of the most
    popular city for cycling, for decades the
    bicycle had a central role in the lives of
    the people in the city.
    • The cycling organization is properly
    organized, yet at the same time the city is
    struggling with several urban challenges.
    Here are the main
    challenges:

    • Create good
    conditions for the growth
    of the city;
    • Keep the city
    accessible; • Improve the
    health
    of our citizens;
    • Ensure a viable and
    economically vital city;
    • Ensure a safe city.
    PESTEL Model Analysis
    •Political:

    • The city is dealing with the southern circular road and are
    moving some of it underground.
    • They are also preparing the Main Railway Station for the
    future, creating new Park & Ride locations (P+R) and
    expanding existing ones.
    Economic
    • Bicycle tunnel and underground bicycle parking
    Main Railway Station:
    When the Central Railway Station is refurbished, a
    bicycle tunnel will be built underneath the station
    and the capacity of the parking facility is
    expanded significantly.
    • Park & Bike at all P+R locations and railway
    stations
    By offering good bicycle facilities and good
    connections to the city we encourage bicycle use.
    • Cycling on the canal ring
    When the canal ring is refurbished, the city want to
    create an attractive bicycle route as an alternative to
    go around the city centre.

    • Expansion of city centre bicycle parking


    The city will build new bicycle parking
    near Vismarkt/ Haddingestraat and create more
    temporary facilities.
    SOCIAL
    • By building new facilities and bicycle parking, new jobs
    will be offered.
    • Accelerate Bicycle Route Plus Groningen-Haren
    The conversion of southern circular road
    offers opportunities to accelerate the Bicycle Route Plus
    along Helperzoom to Haren.

    • Bicycle street Korreweg


    The city will redesign Korreweg as a bicycle street
    where cyclists have all the space they need.

    • Bicycle parking in order


    When there is commitment amongst the inhabitants,
    we will remove car parking spaces more often in favor
    of bicycle parks in the districts.

    • Apps for advice about the smartest, fastest, shortest and


    safest route
    • Heated bicycle paths with geothermal energy or
    thermal energy from wastewater:

    It is a very good opportunities to use the heat from


    the soil or sewers to heat bicycle paths sustainably.

    TECHNOLOGICAL Groningen has good opportunities for using the


    heat of the earth. For example, heating busy
    bicycle paths to keep them free from snow
    sustainably and naturally. Important components
    of our main network have good opportunities for
    geothermal energy (heat from the earth) and
    thermal energy from wastewater (heat from the
    sewers).

    • With an app called "MeldStad" every


    inhabitants can report complaints
    about maintenance of bicycle routes and bicycle
    ENVIRONMENTAL

    • A bicycle is the cleanest, most


    silent and sustainable mode of
    transport; the CO2 emissions of a
    bicycle are nil.
    • Cyclists have less sick days per year
    than non-cyclist.
    • The topography of the city is
    very helpful for the bicycle.
    • The climate plays a very important
    role for a cyclist especially in the
    winter seasons.
