Conclusions of networking • The networks have put mobility management and promotion of bicycling on the agenda in medium sized cities that prior to participation didn´t focus on these issues. • The members of the networks have been encouraged to work more with mobility management both locally and regionally • The networks have resulted in better cooperation between the members – both at the meetings but also ‘in between’ • Both types of networks are a platform for generating (new) ideas and projects across the regional and municipal borders
