Ratio of cycle tracks to main roads (plus information on surfaces)

Definition
The ratio of cycle tracks to main roads is an indicator of road coverage by cycle infrastructure. Only cycle track length was used in the numerator. The length of the road network used in the denominator was calculated by adding main roads. The different types of surfaces were grouped according to European Certification Standard (ECS) criteria. 

The left bar chart illustrates the 20 countries with highest ratios of cycle tracks over main roads. The right bar chart illustrates the share of surface type found in the cycle tracks. Each colour represents the share of different infrastructure types. By hovering the cursor over the graphs, aditional information is displayed.
 

The map presents the ratio of cycle tracks over the main roads. The map is coloured to represent the magnitude of the metric of interest. By hovering the mouse over the area of interest, the tooltip will display the main metrics. Similarly, the size of the dots is proportional to the cycle track infrastructure. By clicking on the circles, a bar plot with the surface types will be displayed along with a link to explore the details.
