In the coldest season of the year nothing impresses more than winter wonderland. Cycling in the chilly winter can, arguably, be more charming than on hot summer days. Whether it is a cold clear crisp sunny day, streets are covered with fog or snow covered paths – cycling in winter is definitely an experience. Using winter proof equipment and tires, as well as good lights there is no reason to spare your beloved bicycle during the colder season. Au contraire, by joining the Bike Citizens Winter Challenges you will experience how much fun cycling can be during winter! Apart from the fun factor, the outdoor activity strengthens your immune system, activates your body‘s defense and keeps you strong and fit.

Paris has the biggest potential to become the most bicycle-friendly city in the world, declared Christophe Najdovski, deputy mayor of Paris, at the competition organised by the Danish bicycle embassy for the future no. 1 cycling city. With his argument that Paris, compared to Copenhagen and Groningen, has even more pristine roads that can be made into cycling zones, he checkmated his counterparts Morten Kabell, mayor of Copenhagen, and Paul de Rook, mayor of Groningen. Even if the battle between the three mayors wasn’t that serious and brought up a lot of laughter, Paris’ mayor spoke clearly about the big plans for Paris.
