Cycling brands Accell, Ampler, Canyon, QBP, Rose, Schindelhauer, Schwalbe, Scott and Trek join forces to tackle climate impacts.   This week a group of companies in the cycling industry kicks off the development of a Climate Action Training programme to drive down greenhouse gas emissions in their supply chains. This initiative is co-facilitated by Shift Cycling Culture and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ), and hopes to create a blueprint for future collaborative projects of the industry. The biggest part of the environmental #impact of companies in the cycling industry comes from their #supplychains. Up to 95% of a company’s carbon emissions take place when extracting, sourcing and producing bike materials and components. To tackle these #emissions and support their business partners, companies have come together to co-develop a Climate Action Training.     The online-based open source Climate Action Training will be launched in Q2/2024, when all companies in the cycling sector will be invited to use this course to engage and #collaborate with their suppliers and to catalyse #climate action across the industry. Find out more about the initiative and project partners here: https://lnkd.in/drhJnUdt If your company is interested in inviting your suppliers and business partners to participate in the training once it is available, please sign-up below and we will keep you informed about the development process. https://lnkd.in/dMfu4fxK Accell Group, Ampler Bikes, Canyon Bicycles GmbH, Quality Bicycle Products, ROSE Bikes, Schindelhauer Bikes, Schwalbe - Ralf Bohle GmbH, Scott Sports SA, Trek Bicycle, Leadership & Sustainability, Fischer, Knoblauch & Co.

#Bikes are amazing, affordable tools of #empowerment, #mobility, and #health. And now the #EuropeanUnion has formally declared it so as formal #policy - with a goal of more aggressive support. Amazing #leadership. From the Declaration on Cycling: "We aim to unleash the full potential of cycling in the EU. This Declaration recognises cycling as one of the most #sustainable, accessible and #inclusive, low-cost and healthy forms of transport and recreation, and its key importance for European society and the economy. The Declaration should serve as a strategic compass for existing and future policies and initiatives related to #cycling." https://lnkd.in/eyA2jbCj.

Check out our brand new BikeWise marketing website! https://www.bikewise.ai/ BikeWise is a bike part compatibility engine to make suggestions based on a given bike. You won't need to worry about whether you are buying the right part for your bike anymore. When we first started with BikeWise we had so many ideas of ways we wanted to contribute to the bicycle industry: helping cyclists with repairing their bike(s), bike maintenance management for bike shops, booking features, mitigating bike theft, getting more people on bikes... These past few months taught us so much. One of the main lessons is that while we see so many aspects of the bike industry that have room for improvement, each of those aspects are different businesses in their own right. There are synergies between those activities, but we want to build one business solving one problem: bike part compatibility. And in doing so we know this will have so much impact on bike owners' experience as customers, bike businesses sales management and more importantly help the bike industry become more sustainable. As Tayler put it "We saw a gap in cycling's green promise. So we're filling it." Go to the website for more information and to check out our awesome team!

The European Commission is about to release a pioneering European cycling declaration, aiming to make cycling a fully-fledged mode of transport in the EU. Municipalities, especially those in Eurocities, are ready to provide input based on their extensive cycling experience to make this declaration successful. The declaration is expected to introduce new rules and guidance to double the number of cycled kilometers in the EU by 2030, with the goal of reducing pollution and promoting sustainable urban mobility. #EU #mobility #Eurocities #EuropeanCommission #cycling

One key insight of the Bikesharing in Spain study by Fifteen España and Ipsos is the positive perception of using bikes to commute or as a means of transportation. 💡🚲 Over 80% of the interviewees believe in the benefits of cycling, but only 19% use bikes for their daily commutes. To improve this gap, government action is crucial to promoting the growth of bike sharing systems. Creating better infrastructure and new points of access may significantly enhance usage rates. What do you think would be the most effective way to encourage more people to use bike sharing?
