The French participants have finalised two routes for cycling near le Puy. You can start them in the small village of Saint-Pierre-Eynac and will give you the opportunity to visit caves that have been occupied by several generations of inhabitants since the prehistoric ages and to meet the statue of Our Lady of Mercy who is helping young children to walk properly.

North Tyneside council has published some cycle route leaflets for which they gave me permission to publish on Talking Bikes website – could probably use it in the pdf too.   I attach the most relevant one but there are several.

Cinq villes européennes, Brême (Allemagne), Grenoble (France), Tczew (Pologne), Venise (Italie) et Zagreb (Croatie) se sont associées pour promouvoir l’utilisation du vélo en ville.

Sur le site web de Presto, on trouve 15 fiches actions pour concevoir des infrastructures cyclables autour de quatre thèmes, les aménagements, les carrefours et intersections, le stationnement, la combinaison avec les transports en commun.

• Accéder à la page de téléchargement des fiches en français.

Presto a également produit des outils de conseil pour organiser des campagnes de sensibilisation (à l’école, sur la sécurité, pour organiser des évènements), d’information et de formation.

• Accéder à la page de téléchargement des guides et fiches d’action en relation avec la promotion du vélo en français.
• Consultez en particulier la manière de réaliser des plans d’itinéraires cyclables et des conseils pour former les adultes afin qu’ils se sentent davantage capables de circuler en vélo.

Presto: a project for promoting the use of bicycle in town.

Five European cities, Bremen (Germany), Grenoble (France), Tczew (Poland), Venice (Italy) and Zagreb (Croatia) have made a project to promote the use of bicycles in town.  We advise to browse the Presto website where a lot of resources are published: action sheets for designing cycling infrastructure, tools and tips for organizing awareness campaigns (in schools, around safety, how to organize events), information and training. Most guides are available in several languages.

Presto is supported by Intelligent Energy Europe.

Learners from Greta du Velay have discovered how to take apart and to repair a bicycle. Here are some pictures of their practical training session.

The English team has produced a short video to summarize their bicycle tour in Pompei and Napoli.

The Talking Bikes group  has been guided in Pompei by the Italian team. They have cycled on the border of the site (as it is prohibited to cycle on the archeological site itself) with a beautiful view on the Vesuvio from the entrance to the Villa dei Misteri. The return distance is 5 km.
