Vision and Mission
Every trip taken with a bicycle rather than with a car generates
considerable savings and advantages both for the individual and for
the urban community, such as:
- Total lack of
impact on the quality of life in the town (neither noise nor
pollution);
- Preservation of
monuments and planted areas;
- Less space taken
up on the ground, both for moving and for parking, and hence a
more profitable use of the surface area;
- Less deterioration
to the road network and a reduction in the need for new road
infrastructures;
- Improvement to the
attractiveness of town centers (shops, culture, recreational
activities, social life);
- Fewer traffic jams
and the economic losses which they entail;
- Increased fluidity
of car circulation;
- Increased appeal
of public transport;
- Greater
accessibility to typically urban services for the entire
population (including adolescents and young adults);
- Parents freed from
the chore of transporting their children gain time and money;
- Cyclists gain
considerable time over short and medium distances;
- Possible
disappearance of the need for a second car for a household (and
hence an increase in the household budget available);
- Etc.
