Segregated cycle facilities

Cycling infrastructure is all infrastructure cyclists are allowed to use. Bikeways include bike paths, bike lanes, cycle tracks, rail trails and, where permitted, sidewalks. Roads used by motorists are also cycling infrastructure, except where cyclists are barred such as many freeways/motorways.

It includes amenities such as bike racks for parking, shelters, service centers and specialized traffic signs and signals.
The more cycling infrastructure there is, the more people travel by bicycle.
