Abstract
Abstract Snow and ice on roads often lead to increased rolling resistance that makes roads less accessible and less attractive for cyclists. Introducing a minimum requirement for rolling resistance...
Highlights
During the winter, cycleways are often covered with snow, ice, ruts, and irregularities, which leads to increased rolling resistance (Blaisdell 1981; Lidström 1979; Shoop 2001; van Es 1999)
In Norway, politicians have decided that all increases in passenger traffic in urban areas should be covered by public transportation, walking, and cycling
The wind tunnel testing showed that the handlebar-mounted air velocity sensor measured the headwind air velocities in the wind tunnel from 0 to 13.5 m/s with a standard error of the mean (SEM) of 0.28 m/s ± 0.07
Summary
Cycleways are often covered with snow, ice, ruts, and irregularities, which leads to increased rolling resistance (Blaisdell 1981; Lidström 1979; Shoop 2001; van Es 1999). This makes cycling less efficient and less comfortable (Descornet 1990; Hölzel et al 2012). The goal is to reach a level of bicycle use of 20% (Lunke and Grue 2018). An increase in the level of bicycle transportation during the winter is needed, and the barriers to winter cycling must be reduced
