Baltic Sea Cycling
The goal of the Baltic Sea Cycling project is to foster cooperation and discussion in the Baltic Sea Region about cycling as a means of transport, and to create attractive and sustainable townscapes. It is supported by the European Union within its Interreg III B programme. The project has different partners in six European countries: Mainly 16 municipalities, administrations of cities, towns and a county. Four cycle associations, a chamber of agriculture and tourism and the Swedish Road Administration also take part.
The partners met three times a year at a workshop to exchange their experiences. They tried out many measures to improve cycling in so-called pilot actions and did a lot of promotion work in these three years. The best ideas and projects are presented in this inspiration book.
Within the project, close cooperation between municipality and cycle association on local levels brought very good results. A great example of this is the cooperation in Rostock with the ADFC and in Klaipeda with the Lithuanian Cyclists Community.
