What is Bicycle path?
A '''bicycle path''' is a way marked for people on [[bicycles]] to use. Many bicycle path networks can be found in countries such as [[Denmark]] or [[Netherlands]], which has had a national system of cycle routes since 1993. These networks may use routes dedicated exclusively to cycle traffic or minor rural roads whose use is otherwise restricted to local motor traffic and agricultural machinery. A safe way to go on a [[bicycle]] is when you have a bicycle path. These are made in places where bicycle safety is given consideration, so you do not have to cycle in busy traffic on dangerous roads. The Dutch word ''Fietspad'' means Bicycle Path in English. In the Netherlands you can go on the bicycle path to the shops, housing, stations, schools, and workplaces. [[File:Fietspad PeeWee32.jpg|thumb|This ''Fietspad'' or Bicycle Path is in the Netherlands safely linking housing.]] The more sensible approach is based on efforts to increase [[Utility cycling]]. In countries like [[Denmark]], the [[Netherlands]] and [[Germany]] the high levels of utility cycling also includes shopping trips e.g. 9% of all shopping trips in Germany are by bicycle.<ref>[http://www.einkaufen-mit-dem-rad.de/shopping_by_bike.shtml Shopping by bike] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201207005647/http://www.einkaufen-mit-dem-rad.de/shopping_by_bike.shtml |date=2020-12-07 }}, BUND Freunde der erde, Landesverband Berlin e.V (Accessed 28 October 2007)</ref> ==References== {{Reflist}} [[Category:Cycling]]
