The long-discussed European Declaration on Cycling, which recognizes the benefits in mobility, health, as well as opportunities in employment / economical / industrial levels, was signed today. Good news for light mobility, we were waiting for this happening a long time and hopefully gives this declaration a boost to the local governments in countries and cities to review their strategy for two wheel light mobility. It should open the path for more two wheel transportation and give the cyclist as well a better and safer infrastructure which should lead to more people using a bike. What does the declaration say? The EU states have agreed to: 1) Create more and better cycling / light mobility infrastructure 2) Encourage inclusive, affordable, healthy mobility 3) Boost financial and mindpower investment into cycling 4) Develop and strengthen cycling mobility and recreational policies 5) Improve data collection and analysis 6) Develop a world-leading cycling industry, providing long-term environmentally positive employment 7) Support multimodality and tourism 8) Improve road safety and security This initiative is sure to benefit not just cyclists; but also for light mobility users, citizens, workers and user of the public transport. https://lnkd.in/ewBKCbHP Stromer Bikes Desiknio
