🚴 "Life is like riding a bicycle.” Today is #WorldBicycleDay! 🌍🚲 Let's celebrate together the benefits of #cycling: it's affordable, eco-friendly, promotes health, and drives sustainable development. The #EU recognizes cycling as a #sustainable and #affordable mode of transportation and has made clear commitments to boost it. Among others, the #ADRION SUSTOURISMO EU Project is leading the way in promoting eco-friendly #tourism. By encouraging #active transportation like #cycling, the project aims to preserve the environment and highlight the natural and cultural heritage of the Adriatic Ionian region, through the reduction of environmental pollutants caused by the increasing use of private vehicles of tourists.

Today is #WorldBicycleDay2024 a day we celebrate more than a mode of transport, a symbol of freedom, health, hope, and resilience! Cycling and active mobility have a key role in UPPER's further development of public transport within our cities&regions. Lucky for us, our Horizontal partner European Cyclists' Federation is focused on 10 measures in 6 different UPPER Project EU cities. These consist of creating multimodal hubs where active modes and public transport meet, developing incentive packages to support multimodality, enabling public transport in peri-urban areas, campaigning for sustainable modes of transport (including public transport and active modes) and, finally, enhancing multimodal interconnections and integration.

Happy World Bicycle Day!🚴♂️ As many of you know, I live in Amsterdam- one of the most cycled-in cities in the most cycled-in country in the world, so for us, bikes are not just a mode of transportation, but a way of life. The city's extensive bike paths and cyclist-friendly infrastructure make it both easy and enjoyable to choose a bicycle over a car- this is certainly not the case in most parts of the world. Cycling isn't just good for our health; it's also a crucial step towards a more sustainable future by reducing carbon footprints, decreasing traffic congestion, and promoting cleaner air. I think this day is a great reminder of the importance of making sustainable choices in our daily lives. Whether it's cycling to work, walking to the grocery store, or using public transportation, every small action contributes to a healthier planet. #WorldBicycleDay #Cycling #Amsterdam #SustainableLiving

The clear and full-throated support for active mobility at the national or supranational level is obviously one of the big changes about life in Europe. The wording is lofty, but now the harder work comes in the implementation of the #EUDeclarationonCycling. A couple of quick thoughts: - In the EU, cyclists remain the only road user group to not to see a decline in fatalities over the past decade. At some point (soon) the gain in users will run headlong into both the perception and the reality of safety for two-wheeled travellers. - It's very clear that cycling in Europe is considered an economic engine, both in the design and manufacture of different types of vehicles, and as tourism generator. This is probably a narrative worth repeating louder in the US. -The declaration speaks to the development of data both on the progress to the various objectives and on the state of cycling itself. Though this was the last point, it's arguably the most important one- reliable, actionable data on cycling is the next frontier in intelligent transportation and governments are really going to struggle to manage what they can't yet reliably measure.

This month, let’s go on foot or by bike! 🚶♂️🚴♀️ Did you know that in 2021, Slovenians cycled over 216 million kilometers – which is 40% more than in 2017? 🚴♂️🌿 Cycling is not only a great way to stay active but also an opportunity to contribute to a cleaner environment. In the Municipality of Postojna, we’ve made it even easier with our POSbikes system, offering simple bike rentals. Instead of driving across town, hop on a bike! It’s a great way to reduce traffic and improve your health at the same time. 🌍♻️🚲💚 Additionally, by participating in the ArtMED project, the Municipality is working on solutions for on-demand mobility, especially for those living in the surrounding areas of Postojna. Together, we can do more! 💪🚴♀️ The ArtMED project is part of the Interreg Euro-MED Programme and is co-financed by the European Union. samo1planet | care4climate #EuropeanMobilityWeek #SustainableMobility #ActiveMobility #POSbikes #CyclingNation #ArtMED

At the margins of the Informal Transport European Council, the #EuropeanDeclarationOnCycling was signed by Adina Valean, Karima Delli and Georges Gilkinet. 🚲👏 The institutions are thereby calling for: • more investments in infrastructure 🛣️ • improving road safety 🦺 • and supporting multimodality 🚏 Improvements in cycling infrastructure will also benefit #MicroMobility users as they share the same infrastructure and rely on national, regional and local decision-makers to move away from car-centric spatial planning. Promoting investments in cycling infrastructure and acknowledging the role cycling can play for first/last-mile transport and complementing public transport are aspects that also apply to shared micro-mobility. Marc Naether, Co-Chair of Micro-Mobility for Europe stated: "Today is a historic moment that shows that cycling, walking and shared micro-mobility are increasingly receiving the attention of EU policy-makers, as they offer more sustainable and efficient modes of transport and are alternatives to privately-owned cars in urban areas. Looking ahead, we count on policy-makers to take ambitious action during the upcoming term and to monitor actions taken on national level to make the Declaration a reality." https://lnkd.in/eQbDdB2n

The Netherlands prides itself on its vibrant bicycle culture, but faces a shadowy challenge: bicycle theft. More than 700,000 bikes - 3%+ of all NL bikes - disappear each year, with daily thefts reaching alarming numbers in cities like Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Despite the scale, few thefts are reported, leading to a vicious cycle of depleting police resources, escalating insurance costs and the threat of bicycles becoming uninsurable. Clearly, the current approach to bike security and bike recovery is unsustainable. As mid-March approaches, a new initiative is on the horizon to tackle this problem head-on. Stay tuned for a change that is desperately needed to preserve our beloved bicycle culture.   #BIKEBAZE #bikesafety #empowerrides #safecycling #communitydriven #innovatetogether #nomoretheft #ridewithconfidence #protectyourride #missiondriven #launchingsoon #followourjourney #netherlands #fietsen #fietsendief #fietsdiefstal #elektrischefiets #community #biketheft #biketheftprotection #biketheftprevention #cycle #comingsoon #staytuned #rotterdam #dontmissout #followthejourney #bikelife #sustainableliving #innovation #ecofriendly #rotterdamlife #cycling #cyclingtech #bikesafety #safety #follow #trending #explore #startup City of Rotterdam Erasmus Enterprise Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship Dries Dederen
