In the analysis I operationalize the methodology with the gathered data: experts and cyclists, literature and video-recordings. Even though Lefebvre states that the triad is conceptual and the elements cannot be seen separately, the analysis is guided by the three elements and finally brought together in the conclusion. (Lefebvre 1991: 39, Shields 1999:161).
The first part of the analysis will focus on the development of Copenhagen’s space of velo-mobility with the use of Kingsley and Urry’s system approach. The chronological analysis will end at the present situation of the velo-mobility system. The Present situation will thus contribute to the first of Lefebvre’s three elements: representations of space.
Secondly the spatial practices are analysed by a combination of my personal and visual experiences along with the video recordings and the cyclists’ statements on their daily bicycle practices.
The last chapter in the analysis covers the representational space, where the lived space is analysed primarily through the cyclist albeit supported by both experts and relevant literature.
Each of the three analysis-chapters is followed by a sum up, which covers each of the elements in the triad, whereas the first sum up also includes the sociotechnical development following Kingsley and Urry.
In the conclusion the socio-technical development of bicycling in Copenhagen is presented. Finally all three elements in the triad will be presented holistically as characteristics, following Lefebvre’s emphasis on each element as being nothing but an analytical abstraction whereas the produced social space can only be understood as a whole of the three elements. (Lefebvre 1991: 40).
