@EUCommission As much as I like recreational bike travel -- in order to overcome car dependency, we'd rather need safe and usable cycling infrastructure in towns and cities and along commuter routes. And to make everyday cycling a viable and affordable option, we might need a government body to enforce standardisation and maintainability for bicycle components...!#VisionZero #StopKillingCyclists #RightToRepair

@EUCommission "When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle." (Elizabeth West, Hovel in the Hills)

@EUCommission It would help a lot if you made riding bikes (and not only) feeling safer by making 30km/h the maximum speed in all EU towns!Also unify and enforce mandatory overtaking distances (by cars) please!

@EUCommission The EU should forbid the bike lanes that are not safe. There are a lot of cities that only do a "paint" in a normal street, those practices are a way of green-washing

@EUCommission Are you aware that in the City of #bikes (#Amsterdam) #cycling is becoming increasingly dangerous in particular for the elderly so that many of them have stopped cycling (with regret)? The reason: the E bikes which are to powerful (250W) and function as moped. They are defined at the European level so it is up to you to define a new low power e bike (max 100W) which could be safely used as a bike. Please, do something!

@EUCommissionSome might argue that pointing at where the bum goes, and stating 0% emissions is not entirely true 💨🤪

@EUCommission Hey EU you forget Italy. Eurovelo 7 in Calabria is a joke. Only a signal that say that on the road can be found bike.In city like Rende removed a bike lane because they need more room for car.Pls don't be silly.

@EUCommission what about banning e-bikes, pedelecs, fatbikes and bakfietsen. They are way too fast and way to heavy to be considered safe in a cycling network and do exactly nothing to improve the general health of the EU population.
