We are very happy to announce that the Bicycle Challenge Campaign has run for a second year on 15/09/19 – 15/12/19 under the co-funded European Programme ‘Horizon2020 CIVITAS DESTINATIONS’.

The CIVITAS DESTINATIONS program develops a set of innovative actions in order to implement sustainable mobility measures and actions in six European tourist cities with different characteristics but with similar challenges namely Limassol (Cyprus), Madeira (Portugal), Las Palmas (Spain), Valletta (Malta), Elba (Italy) and Rethymno (Greece).

The program is coordinated by Horarios do Funchal and local partners in Limassol include Limassol Municipality, Limassol Tourism Company and Stratagem Energy Ltd.

More specifically, the campaign ‘Bicycle Challenge’ aims to to change the habits of locals and support them to become actors in their own town by promoting cycling in their daily life. We hope that through the program participants will gain the knowledge, ability and experience to move around the city.

All participants will be keeping a logbook where they will record their daily cycling activity including kilometers, cycling time and calories lost. They will then send all the information. The duration of the campaign will be 3 months, September 16 – December 16, 2019.

The following companies are participating to the campaign:
