#KampalaCyclingDay. Kampala Cycling Day, Is an inspiring community activity. Suggesting the broader pursuit of a sustainable urban environment and environmental sustainability within Kampala. As the urban landscape of Kampala continues to evolve, grappling with the challenges of congestion, pollution, and limited mobility options, the promotion of cycling emerges as a beam of hope. This monthly event is not only capable of inspiring cycling as a sustainable mode of urban transportation but also serves as a call for transformative change in urban planning and infrastructure development. Like the adoption of cycling-friendly policies, and integrating safe bike lanes on urban roads. #KampalaCyclingDay Aims to inspire the adoption of cycling as a zero-emission means of urban mobility, the healthy well-being of the city's inhabitants, and the preservation of natural surroundings in Kampala City. This monthly community activity transcends just cycling, it symbolizes a collective community commitment to the efficient use of environmental resources that harmoniously promotes environmental sustainability for a greener, healthier, and more sustainable future for all. You all Welcome to #KampalaCyclingDay, as we pedal towards a greener future and embrace the joy of cycling together for a sustainable Kampala. eBee.uganda Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) Uganda National Roads Authority, UNRA Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) UNDP Uganda UK in Uganda MTN Uganda dfcu Bank Uganda Innovation Week Uganda Cycling Challenge 2016 UGANDA HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS EXPO Uganda Christian University Save the Children Uganda Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Uganda Enabel United Nations UN Women United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) The University of Georgia Siemens Energy USAID ITDP Africa Climate Finance Accelerator (CFA) 1MTN UN Climate Change Siemens Stiftung Siemens Mobility Stiftung Namuyiga Irene

The #korachallenge is by far the biggest event that socialtours | nepal started .. way back in 2011. This homegrown event is now happening in over 20 locations in Nepal and also abroad. On that one day, riders will cycle over 200,000 kms for fun and for a cause. To make a destination really known, homegrown events that go global are key. They are loud, visible, and when they grow big, make locals very proud of them. Check the Marathons in Boston, London, New York etc. This is the sort of vision we are working towards. Since the past few years, it attracts over 3000 - 4000 riders riding in these different locations. and has become a bit of a festival - colourful, inclusive, fun and full of community vibes. This year, its happening on 20th July, and we have already hit 1000 registrations. About 25 days to go now. This is looking good. Might become the biggest ride. Yet! BTW, it works on a very sustainable copy left approach, so anyone can do it anywhere in the world. All it requires is a circuitous route for cycling, and a ride thats a bit of a challenge.. not too much, but just enough to make it fun. For those who do not know, a Kora is a circumambulation of a religious site, usually done clockwise. The #kora24 in Kathmandu has 50km, 75km, 100km routes. In Bhaktapur, its 25km, 50km, 75km and 100km routes. @korachallenge @cyclecitynetworknepal_ @pangro.nepal #nepalnow

Interesing read. It is worth adding that BRT + Active mobility is a good combination for a city. What if instead of the Nairobi Expressway, funds were invested in rehabilitation of the at-grade road, BRT systems and walking + cycling? Cost-savings and Better mobility.

🏕 Is it time to rethink how we approach rural mobility?  🚲 With bus services declining and car ownership being out of reach for many, especially low-income households, there’s a growing need for innovative solutions. While cycling has traditionally been seen as an urban fix, new developments like off-road cycle paths and the rise of e-bikes could transform rural travel. Imagine safe, dedicated paths connecting villages and towns, making cycling a viable option for more people, even for longer trips. 🔗 🚴♂️ These changes have the potential not only to make cycling more accessible but also to revitalise rural bus services by integrating them into a more comprehensive multimodal network. At Cenex, we explore these possibilities, such as our work on turning rural bus shelters into mobility hubs through our partnership with East Lothian Council. Check out the blog by Dominic Scholfield FCILT, Mobility and Strategy Team Leader from Cenex to find out why rural mobility deserves a fresh look: https://lnkd.in/e8g7GWBs #NetZero #Transport #Infrastructure #Cycling #SustainableTransport

Cycling 🚴♂️ and active mobility 🚶♀️ are essential components of urban transportation, benefiting both public health and the environment 🌍. Instilling healthy habits like active mobility in children from an early age is crucial, as they will be the future shapers of our cities. At EIT Urban Mobility, we prioritise active mobility when designing and planning urban spaces, recognising its significant impact on creating sustainable and livable cities 🏙️. Committed to our mission EIT Urban Mobility, alongside our RIS Hub partner BGI - Sustainable Ventures, we participated in two exciting events on 1 June, showcasing the power of active mobility in Portugal!   The event that took place in Guimaraes was the Kidical Mass, a global phenomenon that brings together families 👨👩👧👦 to advocate for a greener future for all, with accessible bike paths 🚴♀️ for citizens. Over 100 people took to the streets of Guimarães on World Children's Day 🌍👶 and cycled for a more accessible city, advocating for regular bike use and improved cycling infrastructure in the city 🚲. Kidical Mass sends a clear message: building cities that prioritise cycling benefits all citizens, not just children 🚸. The other event that took place simultaneously was the Bicicletada pelo Tejo, which showcased the public's interest in exploring healthier and more environmentally friendly ways to get around 🚴♂️🌱. It also served as a platform for dialogue and collaboration among stakeholders, including municipalities, policymakers, and citizens, to advance integrated urban mobility strategies that prioritise cycling and other non-motorized modes of transport 🚲🛴. We're thrilled to support events like these that empower citizens to be active participants in shaping their urban mobility future! 🌟  #EITUrbanMobility #Cycling #SustainableMobility #Portugal 

Cycling plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions in Ghana. By replacing car trips with bicycle rides, individuals can significantly cut down on greenhouse gases produced by fossil-fueled vehicles. This shift not only helps lower air pollution but also reduces the nation’s overall carbon footprint. Encouraging cycling as a mode of transport promotes sustainable urban mobility, decreases traffic congestion, and enhances public health through increased physical activity. Additionally, developing cycling infrastructure can foster a more environmentally friendly culture, aligning with Ghana's goals for cleaner air and sustainability.

Active Travel is not just for locals part 2: Netherlands cycle tourism was worth 2.4 billion euros a year, Scottish cycle tourism is worth just £345million, yet we have nearly twice the land area (77910km v 41850km) and half the population. With the National Cycle Network growing year on year connecting magnificent scenery and ancient towns, cities and villages ... and the ice cream shop by the sea, creating connected communities and neighbourhoods, a huge green tourism opportunity and national economic boost is just waiting to be woken up. #greentourism, #cycling, #connectedcommunities, #sustainableliving, #sustainabletourism, #liveablecities
