Mikael highlights one aspect of his work in bicycle urbanism, pioneering behavioural observations of urban cycling through comprehensive studies of intersections in Copenhagen and Amsterdam and other cities. In short, what has he learned from staring at 106,000 bicycle users in great observational detail. Using direct human observation and revealed preferences as well as mapping out Desire Lines through the intersections with his Desire Line Analyses.
Infrastructure improves behaviour and having a uniform network of Best Practice infrastructure is key to designing a city for bicycle traffic. You can’t chastise cyclists for their perceived behaviour unless you have designed the city for them and given them the infrastructure they deserve. Mikael compares his finding about how many cyclists break a Danish traffic law and the number will surprise. He also compares that from his studies in Amsterdam and shows the difference between uniform infrastructure and chaotic planning.
More about this and other work and philosophy by Mikael in his book “Copenhagenize - the definitive guide to global bicycle urbanism”, available in three languages so far.
