We like bicycles. Lightrail.nl wants to explore all of their opportunities and qualities. Urban integration and bicycle network design is our key expertise, but we have been involved in parking facilities and recreational opportunities of bicycles too.
Lightrail.nl is particularly interested in the integration of public transport and bicycle use. Our mission is to stimulate the use of bicycles, but even more than that, Lightrail.nl aims to develop new techniques and solutions to integrate bicycle, public transport (and car!) into coherent, efficient and environmental friendly networks.

Our core business is urban planning. That's why we conceive infrastructure as a key condition for urban development. Bicycles are crucial in this respect. Like light rail this mode of transportation represents a very important condition for social and economic growth. Our projects mirror this condition.

The North Sea Cycle Route is our great inspiration: 6000 kilometres of fascinating adventure await you. Explore a wealth of cities and villages, beaches and farms, lowlands and uplands, cliff paths and byways - all without fear of getting lost - just keep on for long enough and you'll return to your starting point.
We will be happy to work for this kind of projects. Meanwhile surf to: www.northsea-cycle.com

Your bicycle needs a home. But we like beautiful cities too. Therefore smart parking facilities represent a major problem. Lightrail.nl is happy to contribute to creative solutions of this problem. Our intelligent data base of bicycle parking projects supports our work. We plan to publish some of the example-projects on this page. Mail us for your questions here…

Bicycle are a healthy means of transport and they are simply fun too. Lightrail.nl agrees to this kind of qualities but wants to high light a less known opportunity of bicycles, that is, urban freight transport. Learn to know our examples. Really, we want to share our experience and knowledge. Mail us for your questions here…

The Brompton is our favourite city bicycle. Well equipped to offer seamless journeys by feed and bicycle or by public transport, car, boat, whatever and Brompton bicycle.
This is what the makers of this folding bike tell us: "The Brompton is a bike which rides well, is safe, and yet folds easily into a very compact and portable package: other folding bikes have their own character and purpose, but none we feel matches the Brompton's convenience or gives you the same freedom and independence."

Lightrail.nl does favour particularly some bicycle friendly places and cities. We like our 'bike cities'. Right now we are compiling a series of these cities and towns that are successful in maintaining and promoting the use of bicycles as mode of transport underpinning city life.
Yes it is true: developing and supporting bicycle use is (or should be) an integral part of urban planning and design.
Cambridge (UK) is just one example. Check for instance the 'Cambridge Cycling Campaign': www.camcycle.org.uk/

The use of bicycles will benefit from small inventions. Transport and urban planning is our core business, but that doesn't mean we aren't aware of the importance of excellent 'details'. As professionals, but as recreational users of bikes too, we store a huge collection of these details. Here is just one example we encountered in our favourite city Stockholm: an automatic bicycle counter, on a square near Slussen, at the south end of Stockholm's centre.
