The project

Cycling Up is a project requested by Brussels Mobility consisting in creating an online dashboard that evaluates the bicycle infrastructure of Brussels. Through interactive maps, graphics and facts, Cycling Up demonstrates a wide range of past and present data on the Brussels bike network. This project is part of oSoc 4-week summer programme.

History of the GFR*

The total amount of infrastructure is calculated in kilometers and includes the ones separated from the main roads as well as the suggested paths and the Regional Cyclable Routes (RCR), better know as the GFR network. The RCRs are suggested paths for cyclists willing to commute on a medium to long distance. The data that is available is from 1998 until 2014.
