From ANSA news site 02/21/2011 Europe focuses on bicycle with "Presto" and "Eurovelo"
Eurovelo From the project, the European Cyclist Federation, which combines bike tourism, until "Presto", which promotes instead the two wheels in five European cities including Venice, the old continent is increasingly raising more cycling, more environmentally friendly means of transport on the planet, to the benefit of health and the 'environment.
with "Presto", the city took to the field are committed to promoting mobility on two wheels in the movements of everyday life, plan better infrastructure, but also raise awareness of bicycle pedal assistance suitable for a wider target group and hilly, marked by ups and downs. Three categories of participating cities: the champions, through the "climbers" up to the beginners. Zagreb (Croatia) and Tczew (Poland) have had their share of journeys by bike lower, respectively 1% and 2%, and are working to develop the network of cycle paths and information campaigns for the population.
Then there are the cities "climbers", that is, Grenoble (France) and Venice Mestre, where to use the bike for the displacements are in the first case for 8% of the inhabitants and the second about 20%. The idea here is to increase these rates and encourage new bike paths, bike festivals dedicated to creating a clear promotional strategy, but also analyze the places in the city most at risk incident and propose solutions.
Before the class project and Bremen (Germany), where a quarter of the population uses two wheels to travel in the city, which today are an innovative means, such as those with pedal assistance, but also seeks to encourage the creation of parking areas for cyclists at Major Events. The red wire instead of Eurovelo is to revive the 'coupled between a bike and tourism, aiming to develop a network of 66 thousand km of cycle routes, of which 45 thousand already available.
The aim is to ensure a high quality cycle routes in all European countries, with an exchange of "best practices" by making governments aware of the possible routes and citizens. All across Europe to encourage travel on two wheels, especially where they have not yet taken hold. And 'if the Mediterranean route, that of the 12 Eurovelo promoted by the network, it is more difficult than those of northern Europe, the lack of infrastructure dedicated to bicycles and roads are better suited than large busy roads.
