Attachments Full report

In this report the possibilities for more people to walk or use a bicycle over short distances is discussed. Comparisons between North European countries show limitations. The bike is mostly used by people without a car, and as an alternative to walking or using public transport. A relatively high number of short trips by car in Norway can be explained by a low degree of urbanisation and by a special car-culture among young people.
