„Zur Bundeshotelfrage“ lautete 1891 in der Zeitschrift DEUTSCHER RADFAHRER-BUND die Überschrift zur Diskussion über Qualität der Bundeshotels des DRB. Die Bedeutung von Bundeshotels, Bundesgasthöfen und Bundeseinkehrstellen für die Radfahrer am Ende des 19. und zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts sollte nicht unterschätzt werden.

Zwei Dresdner Xylographen schufen um 1900 feine Illustrationen mit Radfahrmotiven, die in Tourenbüchern, Zeitungen für Radfahrerinnen und Radfahrer abgedruckt wurden: Gustav Hermann Bauer und Heinrich Emil Trautmann, beide lebten und arbeiteten zur selben Zeit in Dresden-Plauen.

Die Geschichte des Radfahrens in der Lausitz um 1900 ist noch nicht auserzählt. Regionale Radfahrer-Bünde sind nur ein Aspekt der Mobilitäts- und Sportgeschichte: LRB, OLRB, SRB, DRB, ARU und „Solidarität“ hießen damals die Radfahrer-Bünde, um nur einige zu nennen. Örtliche Radfahrervereine, die Fahrradproduktion, Handel und Reparaturwerkstätten und darüber hinaus die frühe Verbreitung des Fahrrads in der Ober- und Niederlausitz sind Aspekte, die weiter erforscht werden können. Radrennen und Dauerfahrten in der Oberlausitz sind Inhalt des vorliegenden Artikels, der einerseits einen Einstieg in neue Recherchen bietet und andererseits Quellen und Methoden für diese Art der Spurensuche diskutiert.

Urban cycling is gaining popularity worldwide. Inadequate local and international guidelines on street cycling have contributed to a significant increase in road traffic, including increased accidents involving cyclists. In parallel, worldwide, safety data indicates that low-income countries have a high average rate of traflic fatalities (27,5 deaths per 100,000 population), more than three times higher compared to high-income countries (8,3 deaths per 1000.000 population) [1]. Another study found that safety and security factors have not been sufficiently addressed in previous studies regarding bicycle mobility. These factors seem to be more relevant in developing countries than developed ones, and more research is needed [2]. ... [From: Introduction]

In many countries, cycling is mostly known as a sport or leisure activity but unsafe in traffic. Cycling in traffic is one ofthe major safety concem and a main barrier for cycling in many countries (e.g. see in [1; 2]). At the same time, the quality of cycling infrastructure varies strongly between countries. When moving from a country with a non-existing cycling infrastructure to a country with cycling infrastructure, the bicycle as a means of traffic is very likely to raise interest. In the process of settling and influenced by a new environment, migrants usually start changing habituated behaviour and readjust norms and attitudes, what often cause the wish to participate in activities perceived as common behaviour [3]. Nevertheless, in Germany as a rather cycling-friendly country, statistics show significantly less cycling and bicycle ownership among migrants from non-western countries, especially among women compared to natives [ 4]. Aim of the study was to analyse the perceived safety of cycling ftom the view-point of migrants from noncycling countries and subsequently identify the safety-related barriers to cycling.

Cycling contributes to public health because it requires physical effort [1] and offers economic and environmental advantages over motorized transport [2]. However, 41,000 cyclists die every year in traffic crashes, 3% of the total worldwide [3]. Most fatal bicycle crashes are collisions with motor vehicles. Severe injuries among cyclists, however, are mostly due to single bicycle crashes and their numbers are increasing [4, 5]. An international review showed that the share of hospitalised casualties due to single-bicycle crashes varied from 3% to 41 % of the total number of hospitalised casualties [ 6]. ... The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between cycle track width and lateral position. We conducted an experiment in which the cycle track width was manipulated to determine its effect on lateral position. The results have been compared with previous findings from literature.
