Västerås is one of the advanced cycle cities in Sweden. The city has a widely separated infrastructure for cyclists. A network of cycling paths connects housing areas to the inner city and to each other. Lit tunnels serve as crossings on even the smaller roads.

Linköping started an initiative to implement the instrument of “Fahrradstraße” in Sweden. It is a road only for cyclists where cars can be allowed by an extra sign. Cyclists may cycle together and may not be overtaken.
