Cycling Policy Evaluation
Unlock the full potential of your cycling mobility policies using the Copenhagenize Index Methodology
Evaluate your cycling policy according to the Copenhagenize Index Methodology.
In our commitment to promote cycling as a viable mode of transport, our company publishes the Copenhagenize Index, recognized as the world’s most comprehensive inventory and ranking of bicycle-friendly cities.
At Copenhagenize, we recognize that creating a truly bicycle-friendly city requires more than just building bicycle lanes. Therefore, we have developed an exclusive methodology based on 13 parameters to comprehensively assess a city’s urban cycling environment. These parameters range from assessing infrastructure to evaluating political commitment, including an analysis of the city’s cycling modal share, an examination of the gender split, and the use of cargo bikes.
Based on this robust methodology, we offer local authorities a Cycling Policy Assessment that goes beyond surface-level analysis. Our assessment delves into the intricate layers of urban and mobility planning to thoroughly evaluate the city's cycling policies and provide a benchmark for enhancement.

What your Cycling Policy Assessment will look like
Our expert team is prepared to travel worldwide to work on your Cycling Policy Assessment. We work quickly and efficiently, and we guarantee delivery of the final assessment within two months. Our Cycling Policy Assessment goes beyond a mere evaluation; it focuses on delivering tangible results. We assist cities in implementing changes that create a real difference.
A Comprehensive Evaluation
The Cycling Policy Assessment starts with desktop research, data collection, a site visit, and several stakeholder interviews. Copenhagenize then carries out an evaluation process following our established methodology in which we score the city’s performance based on the 13 criteria of the Copenhagenize Index. This is a comprehensive analysis that considers bicycle infrastructure, existing services, political will and community engagement. We go the extra mile to measure how your city's cycling policy aligns with global best practices. In the final deliverable, the City will be presented with the culmination of this analysis — a detailed report and comparable score of X out of 100 points.
Tailored Recommendations
Every city is unique, and our assessments reflect that. Our work not only highlights areas of success but also identifies areas for improvement. We provide tailored recommendations based on the specific needs and challenges of every urban landscape. Whether we assess a bustling metropolis or a quaint town, our insights pave the way for an effective, localized cycling policy that promotes active transportation and improves livability.
Useful Comparaisons
Our analysis compares the evaluated city performance against eight other cities in detail, providing context and benchmarking. Among these cities, five are ranked in the Top 20 most bicycle-friendly cities, while three share similar characteristics with the evaluated city. This comparative analysis offers valuable insights into the city's cycling policy positioning relative to both leading examples and peers with comparable traits.
