It's time to take advantage of the bicycle
World Bicycle Day is celebrated on June 3 thanks to a decree of United Nations proclaimed in 2018 with the essential objective of giving more prominence to a means of transport increasingly used in cities such as the bicycle, which can serve to improve our health, strengthening our body and at the same time helping to reduce pollution and making the daily movement of many workers more sustainable.
"Now that your city looks different, it's time to take advantage of the bicycle" is the slogan chosen for the new campaign of the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT). The main idea is to reinforce the message that the use of this mode of transport allows maintaining the air quality that has been achieved thanks to the cessation of activity, also the safety distance necessary to avoid infections, and, as it is an active mode, the health of cyclists. Therefore, as the campaign says, using the bicycle the return to normality must go smoothly.
The DGT considers that there are sufficient reasons to support cycling mobility at a time, such as this with the Coronavirus pandemic, where many citizens have begun to travel by this means of transport and get the most out of cycling. While it is true that traffic density in cities has been reduced and cycling road safety is being reinforced, traffic calming measures, such as the 30km/h limit in cities, will be necessary to ensure the safety of cyclists as traffic density increases. There are many Spanish cities that have taken and are taking measures in this regard.
