Good Cycling Facility of the Week: 10th August 2017

This week's Good Facility is the cycleway(s) running under, to, and alongside Nimegen Goffert station in the Dutch city of Nijmegen.

This is a newly-built railway station, and has come with extensive cycle parking, as well as a new cycle bridge, running in parallel with the railway line (visible at the top of this photograph) as well as extensive cycleways connecting to the station, and running past it, like this example. All the cycleways here are built to this standard - 4m wide bi-directional, with smooth surfaces and forgiving kerbing at the edges.

Cycling and rail are typically extremely well-integrated in the Netherlands, with cycling 'bookending' longer railway trips.
