Abstract: This paper aims to understand the critical factors behind the development of contemporary cycling practice in Houten, the Netherlands. Eighteen in-depth interviews, with transport and urban planning experts and residents, are used to examine the discourse of cycling in Houten. Beyond the cycling infrastructure, the key socio-historical factors associated with the discourse of cycling in Houten are the regional and urban planning approach, planning objectives for the new town, internal neighbourhood design, regional transport connections, the participatory approach and experience of travel behaviours in Houten.
