- The number of bicycle users in Luxembourg has increased significantly over the past several years due to the growing interest of people in safe and sustainable commuting ways. However, most people traveling to different locations, such as offices, businesses, or market areas, opted for public transportation, which was among the most commonly used methods. Less than 10% of people opted for bicycles (including e-bikes) to travel between 5 and 15 kilometers.
- The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the Luxembourg bicycle market. People opted to bike or walk to work rather than use public transportation to ensure social distancing. Following the pandemic, fewer individuals used public transport and chose bicycles, which increased the sales of bicycles by 22.50% in 2021 over 2020. The advancements in e-bikes and the introduction of cutting-edge features like longer battery lives encouraged more people to opt for bicycles, which resulted in a rise of 0.2% in the number of commuters using bicycles to travel 5-15 kilometers in Luxembourg in 2021 over 2020.

Many people now commute daily on bicycles between workplaces, businesses, and nearby markets within a distance of 5 to 15 kilometers. Bicycling to work is becoming more popular due to the health advantages, zero emissions, and the time saved in avoiding traffic.
