Vienna has 1600+ km of bike paths. Austria Open Data portal provides the dataset for bike path infrastructure in Vienna, Austria. I created a simple web app to show this on a map: https://blog.shoban.dev/visualizing-the-1600-kms-of-bike-path-in-vienna/

​

Edit: thanks to u/Knusperwolf , More details about the paths

According to the official Website of Vienna, it's 1661 km. However, as mentioned here, this is what is included:

169.2 km of actual bike paths

170 km of mixes pedestrian/bike paths

44,6 km of bike lanes

142 km of multi-use lanes (like bike lanes, but less illegal for cars to drive on them...)

28.7 km of bike crossings and intersections

7.4 km of bicycle streets (where cars are allowed, but sometimes modal filters discourage driving cars there)

324.8 km of one way streets with a bike lane in the other direction

18.6 km of bus lanes that allow bikes there (and usually taxis, so it's pretty worthless)

275 km of bike routes (can be anything, but since these are not included in the other categories, it's simply quieter streets that cyclists are directed to using direction signs. Some of these actually do have a lot of traffic and are awful to cycle in)

8.9 km of pedestrian zones that allow cycling (but usually only "walking speed" which is not properly defined)

38.1 km of Wohnstraßen (google it, you are allowed to play football on the street, no through traffic for cars allowed, in reality those are parking lots)

358.8 km traffic calmed areas (honestly, no idea what that is. It probably contains "Begegnungszonen", which is a 20 km/h shared space, but we do not have 358.8 km of those)

73.9 km Mountainbike trails (mostly in the forest, you can see those in OP's map along the western edge

May be doing Regensburg-Vienna-Salzburg this summer. Good to know!

Hey New Zealand city councils. This is how you do bike paths. They actually connect to something rather than just dumping you on the road at a set of traffic lights or leading you straight into a section of concrete kerbing.

inb4 dutch guy comes in to rave about dutch bike paths

Looks better than it is. It's way too often shared with car traffic and not separated from traffic unfortunately.

The bike paths aren't optimal at all sadly, often shared with cars or very close to foot paths so if you go by foot they race by you not even 30cm away, and sometimes they do the same as you criticized, just stop at crossings (rarely tho).

Unfortunately true. Hope they reduce the numbers of streets that cars are allowed and only allow pedestrians and bikes. Some streets were converted in the last years and they look amazing without cars.

Yeah, nice visualization, but that one is a straight up lie. Bike paths are barely existent in vienna, the few that exist do not link up to form a coherent network, and the quality is abysmal.

The city government just likes to declare everything as a bike lane so they can claim to have built X kilometres of it.

No, as much as I love Vienna, please look at other Cities for a "how to", like Copenhagen.

Hahhahaha no.

Sincerely, a Viennese biker.

All in all, it could be worse, but we do not have 1600 km of actual bike infrastructure.

Oh... And btw: people here in Vienna complain about not having enough bicycle ways. They're just too spoiled.

Yea... We have such a bad life here. Not.

I think they also include "Mehrzweckstreifen" as bike paths which is sadly a huge difference in Quality

Mödling hier. Welcher ist der beste?

Hopefully with this, they dont clog up the traffic

I love that city! Once, many years ago, left a club at 2am, found an abandoned toddlers bike on the side of the road and rode it home across the city. Such good memories.

These statistics are amazing. My city just adds green paint and bicycle symbols on 4 lane roads then adds that to their “cycle friendly” miles; when in actuality we have less than 1 mile of bicycle-dedicated track.

Oh wow this looks like Vienna?

Austria!? well then... g'day mate. Let's put anotha shrimp on the barbie!

Thanks for your effort anyway! Really appreciate maps of Vienna. But let's hope we will have a map like that but with decent cycle lanes.

It's still pretty great compared to my Warsaw where lots of thr bike paths are disconnected

Vienna is beautiful, but there is something wrong with cars. They obey to the traffic laws better than ever, but they are a lot and it shouldn’t be so with such a variety of public transport

Equal sharing would be fine. Having completely separate infrastructure is just a waste of space and money.

The quality in Vienna differs a lot by district. In some areas you can go for several km without any intersection with cars. In other areas you get what you describe.

If you stick to the river promenades, you have to share the path with pedestrians, but in most cases this is still better than going on the streets. Especially since it's not so noisy.

still better than in most countries. the usa doesn’t even compare. warte me mal bis du von fahrradspur am rechten fahrstreifen zum linken wechseln musst for no reason
