Abstract
Novi Sad is a city with great potential for becoming a major cycling city. However, there have been certain obstacles standing in the way. Via survey, people who cycle expressed their satisfaction with the number of parking spots, storage space at home, safety in traffic, quality of cycling paths, and density of cycling paths. On the other hand, a group that does not cycle was asked for reasons behind it as well as for their opinion on how to involve more cyclists. Furthermore, we tried to illustrate the importance of social activism in promoting cycling as well as its role in implementing new social policies. This paper offers an insight into the origins of the present issues while presenting potential solutions based on already implemented methods from other major cycling capitals. Overall we propose novel approaches to tackling this issue with the hope of using this research for making the future policy more coherently and continuously. Only with a multidisciplinary and integrative approach from different parts of the community, Novi Sad can fulfill its potential to become a safe and efficient area for cyclists.

Summary
Sustainability, especially in urban areas, is of crucial significance these days. One of the best sustainable modes of urban transport is cycling (Koch et al, 2017). The bike-friendly cities are cities that make everything that people need reachable in short-distance trips which are usually made by bicycle (Zayed, 2016). Another measure cities make for accessibility is building or repairing cyclist paths. Every two years a company called Copenhagenize Design will make a list of 20 most bike-friendly cities in the world based on different parameters. This ranking system is called Copenhagenize Index (Zayed, 2016). A more representative one, in this case, is utility; assur-
