Simplemente increíble: el estacionamiento de bicicletas más grande del mundo, Utrecht El ciclismo se transforma en una atracción en un complejo luminoso y superlativo. Los superlativos no siempre se refieren al tamaño o al impacto de algo. A menudo se refieren a algo sorprendente y fuera de lo común. ¿Un aparcamiento con un ambiente cálido y agradable? Esa es una excepción más que la regla, y un superlativo en sí mismo. El aparcamiento de bicicletas de la ciudad holandesa de Utrecht adopta este estatus y lo cuantifica para nosotros: 13.500 plazas es un récord mundial para un garaje de bicicletas.

🚲 Yesterday, we participated in the "La promoció de la bicicleta a la metròpolis" international session by Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona (AMB), moderated by Maite Perez. Insights from Hamburg and Paris were shared by Maximilian Gawlik and Isis Alexandra Offen. 🇫🇷 Paris boasts 12,000km of cycling infrastructure, employing best practices like pop-up lanes during COVID and a comprehensive strategy involving feasibility studies and long-term bike rental. 🇩🇪 Hamburg aims for 80% of trips on active mobility by 2030. Their strategy includes a cyclist app for journey details and a real-time database on cycling infrastructure aspects. 🚲 In Barcelona, Ruth Lamas Borraz talked about the Bicivia network, which currently has 530kms (60% implemented). Culturally speaking, Barcelona is not a bike-centred city (bike usage is 2%), and reforming the culture is Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona (AMB)'s main focus point, even over infrastructure. For this reason, in 2022, AMB allocated 0.7% of the budget (16M euros) for cycling initiatives. In the second part of the session, Raul Brey Sanchez from Universidad Pablo de Olavide, and Xavi Bach, from Institut Metròpoli | UAB, shared an insightful cost-benefit analysis of two different cycling infrastructure improvements in the Barcelona Metropolitan Area. The outcome surpassed expectations, and data-based insights showed the positive social and financial impact of these cycling facilities upgrades. Marc Figuls, Jose Manuel Gutierrez Franco Roxy Tacq

Bike trips have rapidly increased in the US since the pandemic, according to a new study reported by Bloomberg. NYC had the greatest growth in bike trips from 2019 to 2022 with a 97% increase, as many commuters shifted from subway to cycling. San Diego had the second greatest increase at 71% after public officials responded to a growth in bike sales during the pandemic with the installation of new bike lanes. This is great news, as the US is not known for being a bike friendly country. A survey completed in the 50 biggest US cities found that 50% of people reported being “too afraid to bike on the street,” according to National Geographic. The creation of quality bike networks is crucial to the future of biking in the US.

Declaración Europea de Ciclismo. Parece ser que en Europa se alcanza el acuerdo para apoyar por igual, a nivel de Europa, las políticas destinadas a fomentar y mejorar el uso de la bicicleta. A ver si ahora que viene marcado desde Europa, conseguimos ver como en España, se apoya al 100% esas medidas.

Allure Bike Rental sells 75% of its bike rental fleet to its customers 👇 Several key factors have driven the growth of cycling tourism in Spain since 2021 National cycling strategy Spain's first-ever National Cycling Strategy, adopted in June 2021, played a pivotal role. With a budget of €5 million, this strategy was a monumental step in recognising cycling as a crucial element for urban mobility. It aimed to promote sustainable mobility, a modal shift to cycling, a healthy lifestyle through active mobility, and exploiting the potential of cycle tourism. The strategy also included initiatives to improve cycling infrastructure and incentives for bike purchases. Market dynamics and the e-bike segment Despite declining overall bicycle sales in 2022 due to component shortages, the electric bike (e-bike) segment continued to thrive, with e-bikes gaining the largest market share in the Spanish bicycle market. The sector's resilience and the increasing popularity of e-bikes, particularly in urban settings, have contributed to the growth of cycling and cycling tourism. Tourism is back Spain's tourism industry showed signs of recovery and strength in 2022 and 2023. The summer of 2022 saw international tourist arrivals nearly reaching the records set in 2019. Domestic tourism also continued to post strong figures. Despite high inflation and an economic slowdown in Europe, the Spanish tourism sector was expected to complete its recovery in 2023, buoyed by the strong recovery in international tourist arrivals and continued interest in travel to Spain from critical markets like the United Kingdom and the EU. #Cycling
