chdot wrote about it in detail here. This was after all the rhetoric about becoming a model cycling city etc etc.
As mentioned in the link there was a commitment, that being, "To set a target of at least 15% for the share of cycling in the modal split of trips for the year 2020 and of further growth if this target already is achieved"
That gave 11 years to achieve the split, at least 15%, and hey, further growth if the target is already (i.e. before 2020) achieved. 6 years down the line, more than halfway to the 2020 aim, what's the modal share? SPOKES a couple of years ago estimated between 5% and 9% (after counts showed something like 7.3%).
Are we going to his 15%? Obviously the target became downgraded to an aspiration and so on. Is an increase of 5% modal share (taking the optimistic view we're now at 10%) possible inside the next 4 and a half years?
