Cyclability

Segregated bike lane in Valencia, Spain
Map of the cycle lanes of Valencia (in blue).
The city of Valencia has increased its cyclability by extending and connecting its cycle paths with each other through segregated bike lanes. In just a few years, it has managed to increase both the number of users in general[1] and the number of female cyclists in particular.[2][3]

Cyclability is the degree of ease of bicycle circulation.[4] A greater degree of cyclability in cities is related, among others, to benefits for people's health, lower levels of air and noise pollution, improved fluidity of traffic or increased productivity.[5][6][7]
