Episódio 84: The Técnico bicycles
In recent years there has been a growth in the number of Técnico community members who use a bicycle as a means of commuting to Técnico campi, but until a few years ago the scenario was quite different. The two projects created at Técnico, “A pedalar” (2015) and “U-bike Portugal – Operação Técnico” (2018), have contributed to the dissemination and demystification of the use of this sustainable means of transportation. Both projects are still active and the outcome is very positive: hundreds of users, more bicycle parking spots, a bicycle workshop, “a lot of interest” and “less fear”.
