Overview

More than €1 billion has been spent on cycling-related infrastructure and over 2,300 kilometers of bike lanes have been built since the beginning of the pandemic. Many are calling this the cycling revolution, a silver lining to an otherwise challenging year. But how do we make sure this shift is a lasting and growing trend even after life resumes back to normal? Hear from experts who have been advocating for active transportation long before the pandemic started. They’ll share their pandemic experience from Rome and Paris, and discuss what we can do to continue advocating for active transportation even as we confront an uncertain future.
