Cycling ecosystem
A cycling ecosystem refers to the set of associated infrastructures and services, such as cycling networks, parking facilities, shops, repair shops, and integration with other modes of transport; the actors directly involved, such as cyclists, cycling organizations, and companies in the sector; institutional frameworks, including public policies, legislation, and the degree of involvement of public administrations; sociocultural factors, such as social attitudes, cultural elements, and common practices among the population; as well as technological components, such as applications, electrification solutions, and new bicycle designs. Together, these elements interact and shape the environment in which cycling develops as a means of daily transport, a recreational activity, or a sport.
