Module 2 – Leadership Question 3 – What is the impact of key people (politicians and officials) for decision-making within the cycling policy?
Region of South Bohemia – the regional governor - Jan Zahradník and the reg. councillor - František Štangl, great promoters of cycling in the region

Velichov The example - building cyclepaths - the Karlovy Vary region - the long cycle route „Cycleroute along the river Ohře“
Module 4 – Financing and personnel Question 8 – How financing of cycling is managed ?
The example from the Pardubice region - building multifunctional routes in the valleys of the rivers Tichá Orlice a Třebovka

Module 4 – Financing and personnel Question 8 – How financing of cycling is managed ? The large reserves of regions: for example – to support measures for intermodality (Bike and Ride)
Question 9: By whom is the cycling policy prepared and implemented?
Module 5 – Regional Road Authority Question 10: What is being done to make cycling along regional roads safer, quicker and more comfortable? Question 11: How is the maintenance of the cycling infrastructure organised? Difficult to evaluate the situation in Czech regions – the Reg. Road Authority does not have the competence to maintain cycle paths. But for ex. the Olomouc region maintains signposting of on-road cycle routes and while road construction works includes cycling measures (Šumperk, reconstructed regional road)

Module 6 – Tourist and recreational cycling Question 13: What is the quality of the tourist-recreational bicycle route network ? Yes, we have a dense cycle network – the quality?
Bad quality field stretches
More than 50% on road Better quality needed !!!
Module 6 – Tourist and recreational cycling Question 13: What is the quality of the tourist-recreational bicycle route network ? National Cycling Conference 15.-19.5.2007 Zlín region 18.-19.5.2007 cycling tour (180 km) – the best
Cycle path along Baťa´s canal - separated
Cycle path Velehrad – Staré Město - qood quality field routes
THIS IS A GOOD WAY !

Selected positive factors : – The interest of tourists and local citizens in cycling is increasing (cycle transport, cycle tourism), healthy life style – Good supply of interesting destinations – natural and cultural heritage – Local governments interested – Existence of a dense network of routes suitable for cycling – Dense network of signposted local cycle routes, plans for development exist (planned cycle plans in urban and rural areas) – Cooperation with public transport operators, railways and bus companies for intermodality with cycling
Selected negative factors: • Bad surface quality of some cycle routes • Missing or damaged cycle signs • Lack of space for construction of separated cycle paths in cities and municipalities • Lack of financing • Additional services to be completed – bicycle rentals and repair services, catering and accommodation in small municipalities, cycling equipment needed etc. • High intensity of car traffic in big cities
