Encouraging cycling with various measures
Ljubljana continues to develop and improve the cycling infrastructure. We have designed new cycling surfaces on several roads and streets and plan to open the first covered bicycle storage.
The pedestrian area in the city centre, which is also intended for cyclists, now already covers about 17 ha, and we are planning its further expansion.
New bicycle stands and traffic signalisation
In Ljubljana, it is currently possible to lock about 10,000 bicycles on stands set up in public areas. In 2021 and 2022, we installed almost 300 new bicycle stands.
Several improvements to traffic signalisation for cyclists are underway. We are marking new surfaces for cyclists in various areas and restoring road markings on cycling surfaces.
Encouraging intercity cycling
To promote cycling to Ljubljana from neighbouring municipalities, we are upgrading the municipal cycling infrastructure and connecting it with intercity cycling routes. Within this framework, we expect to establish a regional cycling connection Kamnik-Mengeš-Trzin-Ljubljana by the end of the summer.
Join the bike parade and visit the bike festival
On Wednesday, 15 June 2022, cycling will take centre stage in Ljubljana. The bike festival Cycling the change will take place in Congress Square from 10:00 to 22:00. Public institutions and companies, associations and other organizations working in the field of sustainable mobility, sports, health and environmental protection will present their activities on their stands until 19:00.
The event will culminate in the afternoon when we will embark on a bike parade, mass cycling on the roads and streets of Ljubljana, with which we want to encourage as many people as possible to cycle. The cycling parade will start at 19:00 in front of the Ljubljana Exhibition and Convention Centre.
