abstract: What can be done in order to become a cycling city? This paper explores the conditions to be perceived as a cycling city, the influences of demographic, spatial and travel behavior characteristics of city dwellers on calling a city a cycling city and the measures which are perceived as required to be taken in order to become a cycling city. The research methods applied for this study are 2 surveys (n=291) and 3 focus group discussions and the study population consists of people aged 15-74 years old living in Amsterdam, Geneva and Groningen. The results reveal that the place of residence of respondents has an influence on perceiving a city as a cycling city or not. The measures which should be taken in order to become a cycling city are related to the road infrastructure, the image of the bicycle and the socio-safety situation in the city.
