Abstract: The potential of cycling to bring about more sustainable travel behaviour has been largely recognised. Regardless of this potential, many cities worldwide still offer poor conditions for cycling and present residual cycling shares. These so called ‘starter cycling cities’ are those currently facing the hardest challenges in bringing about cycling. One such challenge is to develop a strategic starting point for the future cycling network. An emerging research field here has focussed on the concept of potential for cycling to provide planning support tools.
