Protecting and enjoying biodiversity is of primary importance. Each Bicycle City will develop a positive and harmonious relationship to native plants and animals. Bicycle Cities will be threaded with natural habitat corridors, to foster biodiversity and to give residents access to nature for recreation.

• Bicycle City intends to set aside land for natural habitat, and a significant percent for organic farming, woodlands and grazing, and a large area for recreation. Native plant gardens on rooftops, native flowers, trees and grasses will nurture insects and birds and provide for additional food production, soil health and storm water management.
