The Python package `linkbikenet` finds links between the disconnected components in a city's bicycle network. You can download street and bike network data with a single line of code, simulate different bicycle network linking scenarios, and export and plot the resulting prioritized linking steps.

LinkBikeNet is a decision support tool for urban planners. It is also useful for proactive citizens to create a compelling vision for urban cycling in their city, and it aims to foster research on bicycle networks. 

## When to use
LinkBikeNet works well for cities that have some bicycle infrastructure in the form of disconnected components. This is the case for most cities in Europe. Recommended example cities to link components: Budapest, Dublin, Tirana

For alternative approaches, consider using [GrowBikeNet](https://github.com/BikeNetKit/GrowBikeNet) or [FixBikeNet](https://github.com/BikeNetKit/FixBikeNet).
