🚲 A historic milestone for cycling occurred a few days ago; European Institutions officially adopted a joint European Declaration on Cycling. The Interreg IPA Programme "Greece -North Macedonia" co-funded in 2014-2020 period, a theme-related project , Bike Cities, with a total budget exceeding 700 thousand euros. 💰 The project partners, two major Municipalities (Serres and Strumica), the Lifelong learning Center of Region of Central Macedonia and the Organisation Promo Idea - Strumica were motivated to take action in the field of Cycle Tourism. Among others, the Bike Cities project included: - Creation of a Bike Park and Information Center - Velo Park. - Development of a Mountain Bike Racing Track according to the regulations of the International Cycling Union (UCI). - Mapping of cycling trails and their connection to tourist destinations, as well as placement of signs with informational maps regarding the difficulty level, altitude, distance, and points of interest of the proposed routes in both mountain and urban areas. - Organization of an International Cycling Race - Development of an electronic platform and smart applications for cycling routes. 👉Find more about the project at https://bikecnet.eu/en/ #Cycling #BikeCities #InterregIPA #EuropeanUnion #CycleTourism 🚵♂️

*Inviting Thoughts from My Intelligent Network* This post brings us to an interesting point of reflection: Could India benefit from a similar declaration? Here are a few thought-provoking questions for us to consider: 1. Can India benefit from similar urban mobility moves? - (Considering failed business models of bicycle-sharing platforms in and around NCR.) 2. Does India really need a bicycle commute as an alternative for office goers or it should be a more local solution? - (Can reduce GHG emissions, but the average office commutes in India are 20km.) 3. Educate people and ensure road safety for bicyclists. - (This involves changing the most basic perception of the masses and reversing the road vehicle priority hierarchy systems in the minds of people - Who gets to cross the road first :p ...instead of Me First !!!) This could be a game-changer for India, especially for Delhi NCR and Bangalore regions where air quality and traffic are quite a challenge, but it would need some great minds to come together, starting with the government taking the lead. Let's discuss how India can adopt and adapt these initiatives to fit its unique landscape. Your insights are invaluable! #Sustainability #UrbanMobility #CyclingForChange"

🌍 The Rise of E-Mobility in Europe 🌍 The E-mobility market in Europe is transforming urban transportation with a surge in electric vehicles, scooters, and bikes. Governments are heavily investing in infrastructure, making the switch more accessible. This shift is driven by advances in battery technology for PEVs, growing consumer demand, and a collective push towards reducing carbon emissions. As E-mobility continues to gain momentum, it’s not only fostering innovation and economic growth but also paving the way for a more sustainable and efficient future of transportation. Excited to see where this journey takes us! 🚗⚡🛴 #EMobility #ElectricVehicles #Sustainability #Innovation #Europe #GreenTransport #FutureOfMobility #TechTrends
Two months after the historic European Declaration on Cycling was signed in Brussels, industry leaders have gathered at Micromobility Europe in Amsterdam to discuss what’s next for e-bike regulations. The European Declaration on Cycling is one of the most ambitious EU-level policy initiatives on cycling to date, setting out 36 commitments to recognise cycling as a strategic priority across the EU. “This document states that cycling should be prioritised in urban mobility. This doesn’t mean putting on a level playing field with other modes of transport, but prioritised,” President of the European Cyclists’ Federation Henk Swarttouw told the panel. “That is a very very important message.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/erB3Xq8E

🚲Earlier today, during the Connecting Europe Days event, I received several images from my colleagues showcasing both commendable and contentious bike parking practices in Brussels. The European Declaration on Cycling, adopted there today, underscores the significance of our #active2public project, involving the active participation of nine EU countries. 🌟Why is this so important? Because the Declaration includes clear commitments, such as creating safe and coherent #cycling networks in #cities, improving links with public transport, and providing secure parking spaces and access to recharging points for e-bikes. These commitments are set to be implemented at the EU, national, regional, and local levels. I hope our initiative will help improve the conditions for cycling outlined by this important political declaration. #EuropeanDeclaration #ConnectingEuropeDays Danube Region Programme Danube Region Strategy

It is a good starting point, but please don't stop here. 1. Please add cycling infrastructure eligible in #CEFTransport railway and road projects. To make long distance cycling highways beside railway lines or highways would add max 1-2% extra to the implementation cost, but it could boost the inter-city cycling. 2. Also that could be important to make a priority in #CEFTransport for cross-border cycling routes. There is no possibilty to finance these projects now: - local goverments in neighboring countries cannot syncronise regional funds and - #Interreg is not big enough for infrastructure projects.

This is a real elevation of cycling policy to a higher level of strategic considerations in the EU. We are waiting, when we start the work on the Polish Cycling Strategy.
