By integrating cycling into a daily commute, one can increase the catchment area of public transport hubs. By adding a 10 minute cycle for instance, one can increase the catchment area of a bus stop up to 15 folds: 35km2 rather than just 2 km2.

In the Flemish region of Belgium 22% of all trips to the station are made by bicycle. In the Netherlands, 39% of journeys to the train station are done by bike.

Supervised storage and basic bicycle racks are a common standard in many Dutch train stations. There are 93 cycle stations with an average of 1,000 bicycles bicycle spaces, but in some cases up to 10,000.
