AUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Abstract: In recent years, biking has started to become a new trend and alternative way of transportation for people living in developed countries such as Germany, Netherlands et cetera More and more people living in cities such as Berlin, Amsterdam et cetera prefer biking over other transportation options. The governments and other public institutions engaged in urban development affairs in aforementioned countries and in others seem to be responding to this trend by investing more in the installation of infrastructure for bikers. New and separated biking lanes are being made, new policies and regulations are being developed and put in place to further improve the rights of bikers and facilitate their commute. All these developments, inevitably, are influencing and changing the shape of today's developed countries and cities. Thus, the aim of the thesis is to analyze the impact of the biking ecosystem on the city and transport planning of today's developed countries as well as discussing the policies and incentives in place to promote enhanced usage of biking. It shall be accomplished by doing a descriptive and comparative analysis throughout the thesis. Reports, newspaper articles and other publications on the topic are used in order to understand exactly how they are responding to the new trend, which policies/regulations are being developed and which measures are being taken to support the enhanced usage of biking.
