Biking Together: Sustainability and Road Safety Bike Education

Cycling is not only an environmentally friendly means of transport but also an accessible way to promote healthier lifestyles, social inclusion and stronger local communities. Encouraging the use of bicycles in everyday life can contribute to reducing environmental impact, improving physical and mental well-being, and raising awareness of sustainable mobility. At the same time, road safety education and inclusive cycling initiatives can help young people develop responsible mobility habits and become more actively involved in creating sustainable communities.

Biking Together aims to promote sustainable and conscious mobility through cycling, combining environmental education, road safety awareness and non-formal learning. By bringing together youth organisations, environmental educators and local communities across Europe, the project seeks to strengthen educational approaches to sustainable transport, encourage safer cycling practices and empower young people to make environmentally responsible choices.

The specific objectives of the project are:

  • To raise environmental awareness and promote cycling as a sustainable, healthy and accessible means of everyday transport;
  • To improve road safety education and encourage the development of safer cycling routes through cooperation with local communities and relevant stakeholders;
  • To strengthen the knowledge and skills of youth workers and environmental educators through international training, exchange of good practices and non-formal education;
  • To develop accessible educational resources, including an interactive Good Practice Manual, supporting the integration of cycling, road safety and environmental sustainability into educational activities;
  • To encourage social inclusion, community participation and environmentally responsible behaviour through local workshops, awareness-raising activities and cycling initiatives.

The project ran from October 2024 to September 2026.

It was implemented by 4 partner organisations from 4 European countries: I Bicipedi (coordinator – Italy), Lernlabor (Germany), INNETICA (Spain) and Aventur (Portugal).

The project was funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ Programme – Small-scale Partnerships in Youth (KA210-YOU).
