Ice-breaker Exercises
A set of three wonderful ice-breaking exercises for all situations - educational to management teams.
Green15 Visit a real cycle city
The document promotes a cycling game called "Be-Cycle" that was created as part of the Cycle Cities project and encourages visiting a real cycling city by providing a link to a video about cycle cities.
Violet12 cycling is a matter of planning
The document discusses France's National Cycling Plan from 2012 which had the goals of encouraging more bicycle tourism in Europe, completing bike routes between cities, and establishing tax incentives for employees who commute by bike. The plan also aimed to combine cycling with public transportation as an alternative to car use.
Green4 More cycles, more space on the roads
The "Be-Cycle" game is a product that promotes cycling by highlighting its efficiency compared to cars. It notes that bicycles have a very high transportation capacity, with a 3.5 meter wide road able to accommodate up to 16,000 cyclists or pedestrians per hour, compared to only 2,300 cars with 1.3 passengers each. More information on cycling initiatives can be found by clicking the link to a presentation on trendy cycling in Italian cities.
Violet10 cycling is possible also in big towns
The document discusses a public bicycle sharing scheme called "Be-Cycle" created by the Cycle Cities project to promote cycling in large cities like Paris, London, and Hamburg. It notes that supporting bicycle traffic through such schemes is an attractive transportation strategy as cycling infrastructure is cheaper than other public transit options and promotes pollution-free and low-noise traffic. Additionally, having more cyclists in cities can make roads safer as drivers become more aware of pedestrians and cyclists.
Violet1 cycling cuts costs for road maintenance
The document discusses how cycling infrastructure can reduce costs for cities. Investing in cycling tracks and parking reduces the need for road maintenance and construction. The money saved from these reduced investments can then be reinvested to improve public spaces, making city centers more attractive for businesses and residents. This in turn can further reduce costs for businesses and cities related to parking and infrastructure development.

The document discusses how bicycles can play a new role in urban logistics systems by being faster and more affordable for scheduling, able to enter traffic-controlled zones and pedestrian areas, cheaper to use than cars and vans, and producing zero carbon emissions. Using bicycles for logistics can also open new business opportunities. The full presentation on using bicycles for urban logistics was given by Federico Lia at the Citytech 2013 conference.
Blue9 More bikes, less CO2
The document discusses estimates of carbon dioxide emissions saved from bicycle use based on a "Be-Cycle" game created by the Cycle Cities project. It estimates that if all bicycle trips replaced car trips, 24 million tonnes of CO2e could be saved, but in reality some trips would replace bus or walking trips instead. Accounting for those alternatives, bicycle trips could still save 11 million tonnes of CO2e. This amount represents a 3-6% reduction towards the EU-15's commitment under the Kyoto Protocol to lower greenhouse gas emissions by 8% on average.
Violet5 30 kmh is compatible with city functions
The document discusses the benefits of traveling at 30 km/h in cities compared to faster speeds. It states that at 30 km/h, car journeys take similar times as when traveling slightly faster, but the sound level drops and traffic is calmer. Motorists feel better about their environment and can better react to the unexpected, while traffic accidents are less severe. More details on these benefits can be found on pages 35-36 of the cited European Commission report.
Violet13 cycling depends by politics
The document discusses how political will is a key factor in promoting effective cycling policies and infrastructure.

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.
