The second Bicycle Architecture Biennial is underway in Amsterdam and on show are the most innovative and exciting cycle routes and parks in the world today.
Hosted by BYCS, an Amsterdam-based social enterprise, the exposition features 15 cycle infrastructure projects, many of which are still under design but all of which promise to change the way people get aorund.
While the focus is on how cycling is changing our cities, there are a couple of rural routes on show including Belgium’s sunken cycle bridge that takes riders directly through a lake.
We’ll tell you what’s true. You can form your own view.

The Netherlands – which continues to be a world leader in the cycling movement with bikes far outnumbering people – has four projects on display, including the three-storey bike park at Utrecht Central Station, the biggest in the world with space for 13,500 bikes.
Maud de Vries, CEO of BYCS, said: “Cycling is much more than a transportation solution for cities. By improving mental and physical health, addressing air pollution and climate change and by bringing communities together in dynamic ways, it is also a powerful force for transformation.”
The Bicycle Architecture Biennial is on display at Circl in Amsterdam until 21 June.
