Abstract
Due to climate change, a trends that shows a transformation towards more sustainable, liveable, and healthier city centres is seen. One of these changing cities in Berlin. Berlin has set challenging goals for their city, therefore transformation is needed. One possible measure is switching to more sustainable transportation methods, one of this methods is cycling. The Netherlands has always been a frontrunner related to cycling infrastructure. This research took a look at what could be learned from the Netherlands and be used in Berlin to boost bicycle usage. The outcome of the research showed that many residents already owned a bicycle, but regarding shared bicycles the best applicable option would be to implement an improved system that allowed the user to rent a bicycle for one or a few days that could be picked up from points spread out throughout the streets. Most improvements, that would have a significant impact on cycling usage, could be made on the following aspects; quality of infrastructure, parking facilities, transport system management, and prioritization. Improving these measures would result in a safer city centre as well as a safer bicycle experience.
