Abstract
"There is great demand for data on cycling infrastructure, but currently no official source provides this kind of information on a European scale. ECF is responding to this need by extracting cycling infrastructure data from OpenStreetMap (OSM). Here, we quantify the different types of cycling infrastructure across European countries and regions. We compare the lengths of cycling infrastructure to the lengths of relevant public road networks to estimate the level of completeness of the cycle network. We also provide statistics on surface types of cycle tracks and uptake of contraflow cycling."
