The EU is making it easier than ever to ditch the car keys and hop on your bike. The upcoming World Bicycle Day on Wednesday is the perfect occasion to do so. With our European Declaration on Cycling, we are committed to boosting this experience for you:

“In London cyclists now outnumber cars in the City by 2 to 1. Paris, where they now outnumber motorists across the whole city, is catching up with Europe’s traditional bike capitals, Amsterdam & Copenhagen…In Copenhagen, bikes account for almost half of commuter trips to work/school.” @economist.com

‘Most women in Ireland can cycle and have access to a bike, but are only half as likely as men to choose cycling as a mode of travel’ - TII’s Empowering Women to Cycle survey and report. After the bad news, what needs to be done, correction, what must be done about it: www.tii.ie/en/news/pres...
