Programs that encourage children to bike to their pastimes seem to be nonexistent. That's why we have initiated the Sustainable & Inclusive Access to Sport Practice (SIASP) project. We will present our findings this week in Trnava, Slovakia๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฐ

It will be live streamed, register here: cyklomesta.sk/en

IceBreaker recording ICYMI We want cycling to be safe and comfortable regardless of the weather and season. That's why we met at the IceBreaker 2025, an online venue for professionals, winter practitioners and cycling advocates...

If you were planning to come to the IceBreaker but couldn't make it in the end, worry not. The session got recorded and you can watch it on our website: shorturl.at/bxsuu Also, even if you did join us live, you can return to your favorite parts now. And give us feedback! shorturl.at/ggHQR

In Montrรฉal ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ the cycling season never ends. To make it possible for people to ride throughout all seasons, 2,000 BIXI bikes have been adapted for winter, equipped with studded tires and non-slip pedals. โ„๏ธ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ

Does your city offer a bike-sharing system that operates year-round as well?

Being in sports clubs does not ensure that children will stay healthy. The question of who needs to change their habits and much more from Timo's work in the SIASP (Erasmus+) project will be answered at IceBreaker 2025: shorturl.at/s0gnT

At the first ever Winter Cycling Congress in Oulu๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ (2013) there were no rental/shared bikes for tours. So we asked regular people to lend their bikes to the congress participants - in return they would get a hotel breakfast while the excursions were going on. โ„๏ธ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ
