#BremenGermany is a top 10 #cyclingcity in Europe and considered the most bike friendly city in Germany but what inspired me the most while biking around here was the #BicycleTourism and the infrastructure outside of the urban core of the city that support it. This video shows a ride out to the charming rural landscape of the Borgfeld region on converted rural bicycle prioritized roads and built multiuse paths that, together with excellent wayfinding, form a very well connected rural cycling system. Although this day was German Labor Day, these roads and paths were packed with all ages from #8to80 These conversions make for truly wonderful biking experiences and are the epitome of bicycle tourism, and I can see this implemented anywhere with the right vision. According to a recent German bicycle tourism analysis, 37 million people – more than half of German adults – cycled during holidays or as part of a day trip in 2023, with shorter bicycle trips generating €2-3 billion and longer trips generating €6-7 billion. FYI, in 1980, Bremen was the location for the first Velo-city conference European Cyclists' Federation Handelskammer Bremen - IHK für Bremen und Bremerhaven Bremen Tourism & Convention #ruralcycling #healthylifestyle #germany #germancycling #ruraltourism #bikingculture #europeancycling #cyclingisforeveryone #cyclingtourism #deutschland #velohagen #Bremen #visitbremen

That the bicycle is a convenient mode of transport, is nothing new to the good people of the Netherlands. We are known for our cycling habits and for structuring dedicated routes and lanes for cyclists within our cities, making the Netherlands one of the cycling-friendliest countries on the planet. Which is why countries, like France, reach out to the Netherlands – seeking a solution to adhere to the growing demand and popularity of cycling, and to adjust their infrastructure to this growing demand. It is mainly because of the Covid pandemic, the Olympic Games of 2024, and the growing need for a sustainable mode of travel, that cycling has drastically popularized in France – providing opportunities for Dutch companies to help reshape France's infrastructure, enabling them to comply to the need for sustainable modes of transport. The report “Pedaling progress - a Dutch solution for bicycle parking” (by the Netherlands France Chamber of Commerce) zooms in on the opportunities for public-private partnerships around creating bicycle parking spaces in France.
