The actual length of Italy's bicycle network in 2023 was 5.35 thousand kilometers. Based on the forecasted data, the network is expected to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028. This growth trend reflects a year-on-year increase of approximately 2.4% from 2024 to 2025, and a consistent annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 2.4% over the five-year period ending in 2028, reaching 6.02 thousand kilometers. This suggests a strong and continuous investment in cycling infrastructure.

For future trends, watch for:
