Strategic objectives:
- promote use of bicycle (especially for new generation);
- promote new bicycle paths (especially between municipalities).
- increase bike sharing
The actions proposed started from EGS project by liceo “N.Tron”. From EGS forum a work group on sustainable mobility and, in particular, on “bicycle mobility” was born. This work group involved important local stakeholders. This project-event proposed specific activities to send out “strong” messages:

Our “strong” messages:
- FOR CHILDREN: cycling is healthy and fun!
- BOYS/GIRLS: cycling is “glamour” and lets have fun with friends;
- And important attractions/opportunities for:
- CYCLISTS: flea market, bicycle repair, bike test, anti-theft marking/chip
- LOCAL ASSOCIAZIONS: to promote their acticities to many people;
- NEIGHBORS MUNICIPALITIES: for a common policies to promote bicycle (round table and shared initiatives)
