HISTORY OF CYCLE TRACKS
Bicycle Research Service: ForschungsDienst Fahrrad FDF 218 – 28.05.1994 Original Text VOLKER BRIESE: HISTORY OF CYCLE TRACKS Cycle tracks for the expansion of motorised traffic Key points: At the start of the twentieth century the first cycle tracks were constructed for the comfort of cyclists. Since the end of the 1920s, cycle tracks have been required and promoted as a prerequisite for the expansion of motorised traffic. It was only in the 1930s that cyclists were forced to use cycle tracks, allegedly for their own safety. Main content: Volker Briese has reviewed the industry newspaper “Radmarkt” (Bicycle Market), that has been published since 1886, and has compiled the history of cycle tracks in Germany up until 1940. In the nineteenth century people began to demand cycle tracks because the unpaved roads and roadways paved with large stones were clearly unsuitable for cycling.
