HAPPY WORLD BICYCLE DAY! ๐ ๐ ๐ฒ
The UN General Assembly has declared 3 June World Bicycle Day, acknowledging the uniqueness, longevity and versatility of the bicycle.
For us though, every day is a bicycle day. ๐
Help us learn more about how people travel in winter and participate in a short survey! shorturl.at/2kK4X
The survey is a collaboration of the FinnCycle research program at Tampere University and WCF. The results will be used locally and (inter)nationally to promote year-round active commuting.๐ค๏ธ๐ดโโ๏ธ๐ง๏ธ๐ดโโ๏ธ๐จ๏ธ

Happy to hear this! Curious about the project results!
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, Slovakia๐ธ๐ฐ
It will be live streamed, register here: cyklomesta.sk/en
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 ๐จ๐ฆ 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๏ธ๐ดโโ๏ธ
Does your city offer a bike-sharing system that operates year-round as well?

At the first ever Winter Cycling Congress in Oulu๐ซ๐ฎ (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๏ธ๐ดโโ๏ธ
