Furthermore it shows a situation where the sketch plan of the municipality has been consequently ignored and, in contrast to the local goals, the accessibility for bikers at Nova has not been significantly improved during the years since the first establishment. The reasons for this, the thesis argue, are a relatively low budget for improving biking facilities in the municipality but also a situation where decision-makers have developed a fear of touching the subject as a result of the long and often loud conflict the subject has caused. Lastly, it must be noted that the whole process of Nova, from establishment to the current situation is easy to find as symptomatic for the power structures, space wars, between cars and bikes that still affects decision-makers on all levels.
