Rome Bike Friendly

10/7/2016 Rome

Overview

Connecting the city. To implement a cultural change, we need to change our behaviors (improvisation is a good gym!), and it is something that depends exclusively on us and our actions. You train your brain not to feel stressed when facing a problem with your bike.
So, we want to make biking in Rome accessible by connecting neighborhoods, social destinations and people with the development of a mutual aid network of people (main actors) for a territorial communities of cyclists. We want to seize the opportunity to significantly increase the city's bikeway mileage by ensuring streets with “SOS pit stop kit” 24/7, bike parking area and bike friendly businesses. Mapping places and people socially responsible to create and share friendly space for bikes.
