Cyclability is the degree of ease of bicycle circulation. A greater degree of cyclability in cities is related, among others, to benefits for people's health, lower levels of air and noise pollution, improved fluidity of traffic or increased productivity.

Common in the United States and Canada, stroads are wide arterials that also provide access to strip malls, drive-throughs, and other automobile-oriented businesses.

In British English it is called formation level.

Traf-O-Data was a business partnership between Bill Gates, Paul Allen and Paul Gilbert that existed in the 1970s. The objective was to read the raw data from roadway traffic counters and create reports for traffic engineers. The company had only modest success but the experience was instrumental in the creation of Microsoft Corporation a few years later.

thumb|300px|Freight distribution in a bicycle trailer. Cycle logistics, cargo bike logistics, bike logistics or cyclologistics is a form of freight transport and distribution that uses cargo bicycles or tricycles, with or without electric assistance, to carry out logistics activities, mainly in urban environments. This model can be used both for personal purposes and for professional delivery services, and it is considered part of urban logistics. Its application is particularly relevant in the so-called last mile, that is, the final stage of the transport of goods from a distribution center t
