Comment & Analysis: Whether on cycle paths, cycle lanes or low-traffic streets, a key to designing for Dutch-like cycling is visualised below:Its, of course, whats referred to as social cycling or side-by-side cycling.A mother cycling home from the shops with her son, two friends cycling with each other, partners cycling holding hands, a father pushing their young child along, three teenagers cycling to school between two urban areas, mothers cycling cargo bikes with each other, parents bringing children to school, an older couple cycling in a town centre, and so many combinations. The width of cycle paths is also important for safety, and to allow overtaking, combined with social cycling, its the reason why Dutch guidance is now recommending:The minimum width needed by two cyclists to cycle side by side safely and comfortably, regardless of intensity. This minimum width is set at 230 centimetres.But I think designs should just as much look at what kind of cycling they are enabling are school children able to cycle side-by-side and talk when cycling to and from school? Are parents able to push their young chidlren along when they get tired? Are
