VELO-CITY 2013 PROGRAMPreamble

Vienna becomes a city of cycling! Vienna hosts the international Velo-city conference 2013, which is one of the highlights of the Vienna Bicycle Year. I would like to welcome all experts, who have come to Vienna on the occasion of the conference and look forward to a professional exchange of experiences and know-how. I hope you will enjoy your time in Vienna, meet many interesting people, and join some of the beautiful bicycle tours in our city.

Maria VassilakouDeputy Mayor of the City of Vienna

Welcome to Velo-city Vienna. We are all looking forward to hearing the sound of cycling. Only an orchestra as diverse as the Velo-city can really make the music it takes to get more people cycling. We all seek to be inspired by the conference delegates’ knowledge and experiences, and together with our members and such an ambitious host city, I am confident that this Velo-city will be a milestone in cycling history.

Manfred NeunPresident of the

European Cyclists‘ Federation

Let’s be loud on the diversity of cycling cultures! We are proud of the diversity of cycling cultures within the community of ECF. There is no ‘one size fits all bicycle’. And we cannot just copy and paste successful policies. But we can learn from each other. Thanks for co-operating with ECF and coming to Vienna!

Bernhard EnsinkSecretary General of the

European Cyclists‘ Federation and Velo-city Series Director

Welcome to Velo-city Vienna 2013

VELO-CITY 2013 PROGRAMPreamble

All of Vienna is Velo-city! With my team and together with the European Cyclists‘ Federation, I have tried to further develop the Velo-city conference series. We o�er many interactive platforms, have found sponsors to facilitate the participation of a large number of people, bring political decision-makers to Vienna and actively reach out to the Viennese population with the Vienna Bicycle Week.

Wolfgang DvorakVelo-city Vienna Conference Director

The Velo-city conference will give you plenty of possibilities to meet other experts, to discuss the latest developments in the cycling sector and to take advantage of these extraordinary opportunities. This year’s program has been especially designed for interaction and discussion. I am sure you will broaden your horizon and enjoy not only the conference but also our intense side events.

Andrea Weninger Velo-city Vienna Program Director

VELO-CITY 2013 PROGRAMIntroduction

The Sound of Cycling – Urban Cycling Cultures Building on established Velo-city discourse topics such as mobility, ecology and climate, health, the economy, resources, time and space, and social policy, a new topic was opened for discussion at the Velo-city 2013 conference in Vienna: cycling cultures. The motto of the Velo-city 2013 conference is therefore framed as ‘The Sound of Cycling – Urban Cycling Cultures’. The Velo-city 2013 conference program has been designed in cooperation with the leading Austrian Cycling NGOs, ARGUS and IGF, as well as with Austrian universities and various Viennese cultural institutions. It o�ers a variety of inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to cycling issues. A special focus will be placed on developments in Eastern and Southeastern European cities.

Keynote, Plenaries and Panel DiscussionAmongst the subsessions such as lectures, podium discussions, workshops, round tables and lightning talks we o�er several inspiring plenary sessions and panel discussions. All our selected plenary speakers are known for their enthusiasm for ’cycling’.

Social Events and Side ProgramIn order to secure a relaxed and warm atmosphere, every day begins and ends with a social event. If you consider yourself an early riser, visit our bike yoga workshop in the park in front of City Hall. If you want to stay up late, we o�er several events such as the Bicycle Fashion Show ’VeloStyle’, the Bicycle Bell Concert, Bike Film Nights and the opening of a bicycle exhibition. Additionally, an informal Expo Reception

on Tuesday helps you to meet international business partners. The Garden Party on Wednesday evening is the perfect occasion to relax and enjoy Vienna’s tasty cuisine, a Johann Strauss concert and groovy clubbing music.

Technical and Cultural ExcursionsVelo-city Vienna 2013 o�ers several optional technical and cultural excursions before and after the o�cial conference program. These excursions will enable delegates to witness some of the most recent and important bicycle achievements in Vienna as well as cultural highlights.

Weekend and Leisure ToursWe recommend several optional weekend and leisure tours before and after the o�cial conference program that are organised by our tourism partners. Pamper your palate with local food and wine or immerse yourself in history on the Iron Curtain Trail.

VELO-CITY 2013 PROGRAMConference Formats

From Tuesday to Friday, we will o�er you a broad range of subsessions, di�erent presentations and formats. Pick your choice carefully, as you can only choose one track format per session. We can assure you that you will have trouble deciding what to pick: the program o�ers plenty of interesting and relevant presentations.

Lectures feature three or four slide show presentations (15–20 minutes each). The presentations are combined with questions and discussion.

At a Podium Discussion, three topics will be presented within a slide show (15–20 minutes each). These presentations are combined with controversial debates and discuss how the presented results and experiences can be used.

A Round Table session features eight parallel round table presentations and discussions. A round table allows for extended discussion among a small cohort of colleagues, giving and receiving targeted feedback, engaging in in-depth discussions and meeting colleagues with similar interests. After 45 minutes, the audience moves on to a new table, and the presentations are repeated.

Lightning Talks allow for extended discussion among a bigger cohort of colleagues. Presenters will give a very short introduction and receive targeted feedback and questions in an intimate atmosphere,

where the audience can switch from one presenter to the next one within the same session.

Workshops will feature an interactive presentation customised for each topic. The audience will join forces in order to react to the presentations, to answer di�cult questions and to develop future strategies.

The Speed Dating – Dating Cycle gives you the opportunity to meet experts, advocacy groups, Cycling Visionaries Award winners, departure: Cycling A�airs Winners, students, and other relevant stakeholders from all over the world. Every presentation of a project or case study lasts around eight minutes. Then music is played, and the audience circulates to a new presentation. During the Speed Dating, you will be able to visit around seven presentations.

Vienna’s Hot Spots will show you some of the local cycling solutions on-site. Each stand in the streets of Vienna can be visited whenever you want. The stands will be hosted on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 12.30 to 15.30. Then sta� from the Vienna City Administration will present the cycling solutions at the spot and answer your questions. To find your way, please refer to the map in your badge.

VELO-CITY 2013 PROGRAMPlenary Speakers – Wednesday 12 June

Maria Vassilakou has been Vienna’s Deputy Mayor and Executive City Councillor since 2010. She is the first Executive City Councillor with a migration background. Having been born in Greece, she moved to Austria as a teenager, growing up to view Vienna as a modern, open and diverse city. Maria Vassilakou brought the importance of cycling strategies to the centre of the political debate and made it crucial to Vienna’s integrated mobility strategy. This includes the ambitious goal to double the cycling modal share by 2015 as well as the implementation of the ‘Cycling Year and Cycling Week 2013’. She sees this as one of the key elements in making Vienna the smartest city in the world.

Hep Monatzeder was elected City Mayor in May 1996 and re-elected in 2002 and 2008. As Hep Monatzeder is responsible for the local bicycle policies and hosted the Velo-city Conference in 2007, he is known as Munich’s ’bicycle mayor’.

Milan Ftáčnik, Mayor of the City of Bratislava, was an active politician at the national level as Member of the National Parliament of Slovakia and later on as the Minister of Education in the government of the Slovak Republic. He entered city politics in 2006 as the Mayor of the largest City District of Bratislava and in 2010 was elected Mayor of Bratislava. One of his main challenges is to change Bratislava from an automobile metropolis to the green alternative. In 2011, Bratislava increased the city budget for bicycle infrastructure by 16 times. Milan Ftáčnik believes that together with a preference for public transport, creating separated bus lanes and creating new parking policy, cycling is an important step to change Bratislava into a greener city.

Per Ankersjö, Stockholm’s Vice-Mayor for Urban Development, aims at Stockholm being a fossil-free city by 2050. Per Ankersjö has been a proud cycling advocate. For him, it is absolutely necessary to transform the way Stockholm’s tra�c system works. Car dependence needs to decrease while other modes of transport increase. Cycling leads to a better environment, less congestions and a more enjoyable city. The City of Stockholm will invest heavily in bicycle infrastructure over the next few years. Amongst other projects, one billion Swedish crowns will be invested in new bicycle lanes, to improve guide-posts, erect service stations and expand bicycle parking in strategic locations all over the city.

Tomáš Hudeček, Vice Mayor of the City of Prague, has been acting as a research and teaching employee at the Department of Applied Geoinformatics and Cartography at Charles University Faculty of Science. Although Tomáš Hudeček highly enjoys analysing transportation phenomena and processes in detail, it is the contact with young people – students – in which he truly delights and which fulfils him the most in his job. Since November 2010, he has been a representative of the City of Prague and the following year he was elected to the Prague City Council, where he is in charge of territorial development.

Ayfer Baykal, Technical and Environmental Mayor of Copenhagen, has a background as an intercultural social worker and was elected to the City Council of Copenhagen in 2009. Copenhagen has been a cycling city for many years, and Ayfer Baykal wants to develop this cycle culture and take it into the future. One of Copenhagen’s visions is to become carbon-neutral by 2025, and more trips done by bike will contribute crucially to this. To her, it is important that cycling is for everybody – both the business woman on her way to a meeting, the father cycling slowly with his child to school and the many students in Copenhagen. In addition to infrastructure, this ambition calls for initiatives that focus on the mobility behaviour of all Copenhageners.

Lenore Skenazy’s decision to let her 9-year-old son take the New York subway home alone became a national story. In response to the enormous media blowback, Lenore founded the book and blog ’Free-Range Kids’, which launched the anti-helicopter parenting movement. Her feisty belief that our kids are not in constant danger has landed her on talk shows from Dr. Phil to The View. Except instead of dealing with obnoxious kids, she deals with overprotective parents who won’t let their school-age children do things like play outside or ride their bikes. Once the parents see how independent and happy their ’babies’ can be, their fear melts away. The change is lasting – and joyous.

Dave Horton is a sociologist and writer based in Lancaster, England. Dave’s research interests centre on the environment, culture, everyday life, politics, social movements, identity, and mobility. However, his main interest and passion is cycling. Until 2012, he worked at Lancaster University, where between 2008 and 2011 he contributed to a major research project, Understanding Walking and Cycling, taking particular responsibility for the qualitative and ethnographic research. He believes in the importance of critical research to e�ective cycling promotion. Dave loves cycling, and is absolutely convinced it is the sanest, most appropriate mobility.

GeorgHauger, Professor for Transport System Planning at the Vienna University of Technology and Scientific Director at Austrian Road Safety Board, can hardly keep still for a minute. Having two little girls, flying (paragliding) became too risky, so long distance running roused his passion. Walking is part of his daily life anyhow. His lacking experience with crawling will be given at Velo-city 2013. Hence all kind of motion is in his focus of interest, and means of transport are the subject of his research and consulting activities.

Cycling and the Arts – Voting Prize

Cycling and the Arts – Vienna Jury Prize

Borracce di poesiaBorracce di poesia – Water Bottles of Poetry – was born in 2007 combining two passions: urban cycling and rhymes. The poems, originally written in Italian, are spontaneous reflections by the project creator who narrates the world from his saddle, emphasising the cyclist’s point of view. The quatrains link the historical traditions of cycling to the modern role of bicycles in today’s urban mobility.

VELO-CITY 2013 PROGRAM

Leadership Award for Cycling Promotion 2013

Student‘s Work: Velo-city by 20 Students of Vienna University of Technology

The Cycling Embassy of Denmark will honour an individual or an organisation with the Leadership Award for Cycling Promotion 2013 for the fifth time. Who will follow the previous winners, Michael Bloomberg, New York City; Roelof Wittink, Dutch Cycling Embassy; Lake Sagaris, Ciudad Viva; and Randy Neufeld, SRAM Cycling Fund?For this year’s award, several prominent cycle advocates have been discussed as candidates based on nominations from people all over the world. Don‘t miss the Award Ceremony on Wednesday 12 June!

The Department of Landscape Planning and Garden Design organised a practice-oriented design course for students of architecture, civil engineering and spatial planning with a focus on continuing the cycle way along the Wien River bed. The task involved the following aspects: definition of the exact route and division into individual sections, hook-up to existing cycle way network and practical implementation of this link, and ensuring usability of the thus created open space along Wien River.

Meet the students and discuss their work in rooms B and C (Schubert and Gulda) on Wednesday 12 June.

VELO-CITY 2013 PROGRAMVienna Bicycle Week

Putting Joy in Motion – Cycling in Vienna

Vienna is growing, and so do the challenges to provide modern and sustainable mobility solutions for its citizens and guests.An established success of urban public transport – close to 40 percent of everyday trips are taken by mass transit – is now to be transferred to cycling as well.The City of Vienna is aiming for a modal split increase of cycling to ten percent by 2015.For this reason, an o�cial Cycling Coordinator was appointed, and the Vienna Mobility Agency was set up as an instrument to communicate the benefits of cycling to a broad audience. Information, counselling, services and awareness campaigns are to generate interest in urban cycling.Velo-city 2013 transforms Vienna into the international capital of cycling. This tailwind was picked up by the City of Vienna and its Mobility Agency to declare all of 2013 the Vienna Bike Year and to highlight and promote urban cycling through a host of varied activities.Velo-city 2013 will also tie in with a Bicycle Week for all of Vienna and thus will be given prominence throughout the city. Conference participants and citizens alike will enjoy a multifaceted, informative and exciting side program with numerous events.Before and during Velo-city 2013, the bicycle charity bike2help will support a good cause: kilometres travelled by bike will be transformed into donations for social projects.Im

VELO-CITY 2013 PROGRAMHot Spots

As part of the conference program, 18 ’Hot Spots’ aim to demonstrate best-practice initiatives in Vienna. The information is illustrated on triangular stands which are accessible 24/7 and can be explored individually anytime. 12–14 June (12.30–15.30), experts from the City of Vienna will be on-site at all Hot Spots to answer questions or explain information in more detail.

For information on how to get to the di�erent Hot Spots, please refer to our website www.velo-city2013.com

Ringstrasse circular cycle way – inner lane at SchottentorThis refurbishment above the Schottentor underpass minimises conflicts between pedestrians and cyclists.In 2012, the side lane for cars was eliminated and replaced by a generously sized two-way cycle way that enables pedestrians and cyclists to travel more smoothly and safely.

Hot Spots

69


Ringstrasse circular cycle way – outer lane at BurgringIn 2012, the gap in the Ringstrasse circular cycle way between outer Burgring and Dr.-Karl-Renner-Ring was closed. The Parliament forecourt can now also be used by cyclists.In order to let cyclists enter the former riding avenue on Burgring, the side lane was closed o� to car tra�c and opened to bicycles. New tra�c lights enable cyclists to cross Bellariastrasse safely.

Ringstrasse circular cycle way – outer lane at Kärntner Ring and OpernringOn peak days, up to 8,000 cyclists use the Ringstrasse circular cycle way.To ease the tra�c load on the inner Ringstrasse route, a new cycle way was created in 2011 along outer Kärntner Ring and Opernring.Despite spatial constraints, additional room was made for cyclists. Tra�c lights were adapted or newly installed for the complex intersections. Bicycle tra�c is guided via the former riding avenue or the side lane.

70


Bicycle-friendly HasnerstrasseHasnerstrasse has been declared a ’bicycle-friendly’ street, i.e. a continuous bicycle route that prioritises bike tra�c. At several intersections, existing tra�c installations were redesigned and the following measures adopted:• PrioritisationofHasnerstrasseoverallcrossstreets

(except for those used by public transport)• Cyclinginbothdirectionsispermittedin

intersecting one-way streets• Improvedtrafficsafetyforpedestriansandcyclists,

e.g. by means of curb extensions

PratersternThe restructuring of the Wien-Nord railway station also entailed the following measures for bicycle tra�c:• New,directbikeconnectionbetweenPraterstrasse

and Ausstellungsstrasse including one mixed-tra�c zone

• Separationofbicycleandpedestriantraffictoavoidconflicts, especially at Underground exits

• Creationofawider/newcyclewayaroundthenewÖBB building by eliminating a car lane

• Additionalbicyclestandsincludingcoveredones(approx. 280 bike slots in total) as close as possible to the train platforms

• SecondCitybikerentalstationwith80bicyclesintotal

71


Obere and Untere Donaustrasse cycle wayThe redesign of Obere and Untere Donaustrasse resulted in a two-way cycle way of 2.4 m width plus 0.6 m separation strip parallel to the building line. After completion of the last section in autumn 2013, cyclists will dispose of an attractive cycle way between the bridges Franzensbrücke and Nordsteg. Additional cycling links created include e.g. the one across Schwedenbrücke Bridge to Franz-Josefs-Kai.

Ottakringer StrasseContinuous bike lanes for both directions were built in Ottakringer Strasse. To enhance comfort, bike stands and a new Citybike station were set up as well.A new solution for bike tra�c had also to be found for the tram stop: the new tram borders are crossed by bikes via a separate bike lane. A scientific study of this construction measure will provide information on whether the solution adopted is useful for all road users.

72


Spittelau SkywalkThe Spittelau Skywalk is a direct, easy-to-use pedestrian and cycling link between Guneschgasse and the Spittelau Underground stop. Access to public transport has thus been shortened, and an important connection to Danube Canal and the 20th municipal district was created as well.11 m high and 4.5 m wide, the bridge allows cyclists and pedestrians to cross Heiligenstädterstrasse and thus connects two municipal districts. The glass structure renders the crossing not only visually attractive but also o�ers maximum comfort in case of bad weather.

Vienna Main Station bike stationIt will be possible to reach the new railway station via both high-level public transport and a dense network of bicycle and pedestrian routes. Existing barriers were eliminated, and new transversal links improve the accessibility of the environs, above all for pedestrians and cyclists. The station building itself will house one of Austria’s biggest bicycle stations. Situated in a prominent position, inviting and attractively designed, the bicycle station will, in addition to its principal function as a bike parking site, inform passers-by about the advantages of bicycle use.

73


Rossauer Lände The Seegasse/Siemens-Nixdorf-Steg link closes a key gap in Vienna’s cycle way network.In case of slow tra�c, pileups are common in Seegasse at the level of Rossauer Lände. Heavy tra�c from Spittelauer Lände/Friedensbrücke is followed by a phase with much less or even no tra�c. In the past, the tra�c lights were still red for pedestrians and cyclists at this moment, motivating many to cross the street during the red phase. The new tra�c signal control now allots green phases ’cut’ from car tra�c to the green phases for pedestrians and cyclists.

EngerthstrasseIn Wehlistrasse, between Marathonweg and Handelskai, continuous cycle ways were created for both directions. These one-way tracks are physically separated from the car lanes and run between sidewalk and parking lane.In Engerthstrasse, generously dimensioned one-way cycle ways were built between Machstrasse and Meiereistrasse. In the section between Meiereistrasse and Marathonweg, cyclists may use the bus lane; this section of the street is closed to private motorised tra�c.

74


Wien River cycle way – KennedybrückeCurrently, Kennedybrücke Bridge is the endpoint of the popular Wien River cycle way. With its length of 3.5 km, this cycle way is an important east/west route through Vienna that is used equally by everyday and leisure cyclists. In the context of the project, new facilities for cycle tra�c have been created, e.g. a new bridge across Wien River at the level of Astgasse.Adjacent to Kennedybrücke, a bike garage was built to allow commuters to park their bikes safely. The garage was designed as a transparent glass-steel structure using ecological techniques. This design ensures a high degree of visual control and security.

Bike CityBike City is a Viennese flagship project for bike-friendly, ’car-reduced’ housing and promotes everyday bike use through the following measures:• 330bikeparkingslots,i.e.overthreeslotsperflat• Twoliftsfortransportinguptothreebicyclesand

75


Rechte Wienzeile Many cyclists and pedestrians use the Rechte Wienzeile zone between the Margareten District O�ce and the Pilgramgasse U4 station. To improve the situation for all of them, separate pedestrian and bicycle lanes instead of a mixed-use tra�c space were created, which has contributed significantly to defusing conflicts between the two user groups.Between Ramperstor�ergasse and Sonnenhofgasse, the tra�c surface on Rechte Wienzeile was reduced to one car lane. The space thus cleared is now available for pedestrians and cyclists.

BerggasseIn Berggasse, a cycle way feeding into Währinger Strasse (hence going against the direction of car tra�c) was built, while bikes move into the direction of Liechtensteinstrasse together with cars in a mixed-tra�c, 20-mph (Tempo 30) zone. To create this cycle way, it was necessary to replace the original angle parking slots with parallel ones.With a 10% inclination, this 250 m long, separate cycle way is the steepest of its kind in Vienna yet used by many cyclists, mostly students travelling between various university facilities in the 1st and 9th municipal districts.

76


’fairness zone’Danube Canal is a much-beloved and much-used open space in the city, above all during the summer season. Unfortunately, this has also repeatedly triggered conflicts between cyclists and pedestrians.For this reason, Danube Canal was in its entirety declared a ’fairness zone’ in 2007. As in preceding years, various related activities and services will be organised in 2013.The ’fairness zone’ markings signal to all users of this area that mutual respect is to be given priority.

SPAR climate protection supermarketThe ’Bike & Buy’ project by SPAR sets a signal for shopping by bike: attractive bike stands at SPAR supermarkets make it easier to park your bicycle. Scientific studies were conducted to assess the willingness of consumers to shop by bike, and advertising campaigns aim to motivate customers and employees alike to switch to two wheels.In this way, SPAR actively helps to raise awareness regarding bike use. In 2010, SPAR inaugurated Vienna’s first climate protection supermarket. Due to a wide variety of innovative measures, this supermarket makes do with only half the energy consumption of a conventional outlet; its annual CO2 consumption is cut by 50 tonnes overall. The new SPAR outlet is also a bike-friendliness pioneer: the modern bike parking installation allows for safe parking and easy loading of bikes and in addition features a tire pump station and a charging point for shoppers using (electric) bikes.

MAK ViennaThe exhibition ’TOUR DU MONDE. Bicycle Stories’ (14 June to 6 October 2013) presents iconic bicycles of the 20th and 21st centuries from EMBACHER/ COLLECTION® to explore the quality and variety of designs for this classic means of transport, with gradually changing technologies and styles revealing a history of innovation and design. Bicycle-related experiences from all over the world, recounted by David Byrne, moreover illuminate a novel understanding of the bicycle as ’awareness machine’.
