HAPPY WORLD BICYCLE DAY! 🌍 💚 🚲

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. 😜

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.🌤️🚴‍♀️🌧️🚴‍♂️🌨️

Before we let this winter go away, there is an important question to ask: Where do you think the next Winter Cycling Congress will take place? ❄️🚴‍♀️❄️🚴❄️🚴‍♂️❄️

1️⃣ Finland 🇫🇮
2️⃣️ Norway 🇳🇴
3️⃣ Poland 🇵🇱
4️⃣ Sweden 🇸🇪

📊 Show 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, Slovakia🇸🇰

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 Montréal 🇨🇦 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. ❄️🚴‍♀️

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

🎄 #TreeByBike in Trnava, Slovakia🇸🇰. How did you transport yours? (Where?)

𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗢𝗪𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗧𝗛𝗨𝗥𝗦𝗗𝗔𝗬
At the first ever Winter Cycling Congress in Oulu🇫🇮 (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. ❄️🚴‍♀️

SAVE THE DATE!

The Winter Cycling Congress now takes place every two years, with online gatherings and special initiatives in between. The nearest one, IceBreaker 2025 will take place on January 22. Sign up and be part of it!
