Wherever your bike is. At the door, in the shed, or locked to the staple. It all starts with one simple movement: grab that handlebar! Pump up your tires, straighten your saddle, and off you go.
In Breda, those cycling moments are ready everywhere. An errand, a drink, or a ride through the countryside... before you know it, you’re pedaling yourself exactly where you want to be. Sometimes it rains, sometimes it’s windy, sometimes you’re late, but don’t worry: your next cycling moment will come naturally. Because in Breda, you hop on quickly!
You cycle on nice (fast) bike paths, park for free in the city center, and get green lights slightly more often than average. Cycling is sustainable, healthy, and safe, but above all fun. That’s why we invite you with a wink to grab your moment, so together we can make Breda the nicest cycling city in the Netherlands.
What we do for the cyclist in Breda
Those great cycling moments in Breda are everywhere! We work every day on better, safer, and more pleasant cycling routes. Here’s what we’re currently working on:
Smarter green lights
Countdown timer at St. Ignatiusstraat traffic lights
As a trial, there is a countdown timer at St. Ignatiusstraat that indicates when the light will turn green. This way you know exactly what to expect.
Better cycling infrastructure
Generaal Maczekstraat – wider bike lanes
Work is in full swing to make this route more comfortable and safer with wider bike lanes.
Tuinzigtlaan – planning in full speed
- Plans for wider bike lanes and a section of separated bike path.
- Already discussed with the neighborhood: the reactions are positive!
Haagweg – new bike street
- The plans have been coordinated with residents, again with positive feedback.
- Here will be a bike street of no less than 670 meters.
- Implementation is planned for 2026/2027.
Topaasstraat – bike street in 2026
This street will also be transformed into a real bike street in 2026.
