The Alicante municipality organizes these sessions, from November 20 to 24, which have the participation of the group's General Director, Sergio Serna, as an expert in strategic planning and territorial development.
More bikes, more health and a higher quality of life for everyone. Cities around the world must work under this premise. Reflect, share and carry out new or revised urban development models that encourage the use of bicycles.
Next October 25 we will be present at this event organized by the city council of Aranda de Duero (Burgos) and Red Innpulso. In this first edition, a large number of experts in territorial strategies will meet, not only municipal, such as the mayors of Ermua, Alcoi and Salamanca, but also national as representatives of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, and the Ministry of Finance.
Bikefriendly Consulting has been working for months with the Sant Boi de Llobregat City Council on the development of its own Urban Bike Strategy, a tool that will contribute decisively to the new healthier and more sustainable city model. A strategy that has begun to take shape in the recent European Mobility Week.
Bikefriendly Consulting organizes a work session on cycle tourism, sustainable mobility and territory, on Thursday, September 21 within the framework of the Madrid International Bike Fair, where the territorial initiatives developed by Bikefriendly will be analyzed and there will also be time for an interesting table round with experts.
E-bikes have revolutionized the cycling sector to such an extent that industry experts speak of a massive invasion of the market. In Holland alone we find around 100 brands competing for a market of approximately 300.000 units, only in the country of tulips.
The Bikefriendly Quality Seal will attend the next edition of UNIBIKE 2017 with the aim of publicizing and promoting its quality certification for companies, especially in the field of cities, where urban cycling has grown exponentially in recent years.
Despite the controversy it has caused in recent years, both due to the dates and the location, no one doubts that Eurobike continues to be the great event in the international cycling sector. There we will be hand in hand with Bikefriendly by Serhs, as part of its international development strategy for Corporate Events & Tours.
The Sant Boi de Llobregat City Council has developed, in collaboration with Bikefriendly Consulting, its Urban Bicycle Strategy, which was created with the aim of contributing to the sustainable development of the city, turning Sant Boi into a 'bike-friendly' town. and making this vehicle an essential element in your daily life.
We are facing a global environmental crisis and forecasts estimate that by 2050, close to 70% of the world's population will live in urban environments. It is more necessary than ever to transform the current and outdated model of a city focused on satisfying the needs of the car to that of a city designed by and for people, with the bike as a priority means of urban transport.
With its sights set on the next season, Bikefriendly Group is already preparing the new features with which it plans to consolidate its leadership in terms of cycle tourism in Spain, which it will announce at the main fairs in the sector. The International Bicycle Fair (UNIBIKE), the Valladolid International Inland Tourism Fair (INTUR) and the Madrid International Tourism Fair (FITUR) are the chosen showcases.
Cafes, bars, restaurants, bicycle shops... and many other types of companies are joining the unstoppable bicycle movement. Joining our Bikefriendly network will provide you with visibility to cyclists and a communication channel with a specific customer profile: people who ride bicycles.
Seville is a good example of how sustainable urban mobility policies can achieve a more livable city, on a human scale. And the progressive implementation of the bicycle, both public and private, as a common means of transport to move through its streets, has had a lot to do with it. Let's analyze the reasons for success.
At Bikefriendly we are firm defenders of urban development and sustainable mobility policies associated, of course, with the daily use of the bicycle as a means of transport. And Zaragoza has become one of the best examples in recent years. Proof of this is the great event organized from April 27 to 30 around the bike.
Lorenzo Gallardo and David Botello, both riding (on a bike), riding both (on another bike), link the different points of interest in the capital's neighborhoods (monuments, parks, unique buildings...) by pedaling. Pure sustainable urban transportation that fits perfectly with the casual tone of the program, the presenters and the very diverse guests.
The strategy to achieve a global community of happy cyclists all year round is based on habit, on daily practice. During the 30 days of April you accept the commitment to use the bicycle, at least for a little while, and make friends around it. The participation of local groups and activists is essential. The promoter of this movement in Spain comes from Gijón and his name is Carlos Rodríguez.
The STARS Project promotes active travel to school, both by bike and on foot, in the nine participating European cities. In Madrid, there are already 35 educational centers that have joined this adventure of sustainable mobility supervised by the City Council by creating pedibuses and bicibuses.
It doesn't take a genius to realize that bicycles are a growing trend in the big cities of our country. Whether for simple fashion or posturing, for imitation (welcome...) of what has happened in the rest of Europe over the last few years, or as an efficient (and ecological) solution to mobility problems in the city, Urban cycling is a palpable reality.
