One hundred two-wheelers

But in fact bikes, there were vehicles and all kinds rolling in the streets and edges, according to the different tours offered. Children we saw in trailers, others on their bikes connected by a drawbar than Mom or Dad, tandems, a unicycle and a recumbent bike. And even a dog, that, no, not pedaling but took advantage of the walk in a carriage at the rear. So it was an exit in good humor and without a hitch, which brought the participants at the end of the afternoon in the hall, where the animation wheel continued to turn. The kids had fun pedaling to generate energy or produce fruit juice.

“The cycling is increasing for tourism and travel. People are also very sensitive to the health aspect, “said Gerard, reminiscent of the great success of the operation” Bike to work”, organized last spring. “We expected to have 150 people, we saw almost 500. Many people came to the bike with that. “And be pleased to know that the operation will be repeated in the month of May.

There is the old railway line, which is 12 km. But it lacks a reflective tape markup; there are some intersections to be processed for safety, particularly in Petit Camp, and the roundabout at the entrance. We have to come to put around the table Community Department. “Efforts are also underway to develop a secure covered car parking near the train station and other near bus stops, the head of the lines.”The public are increasingly sensitive. Things have changed in ten years. But we have going at top speed, there is an ambition. “In short, do not necessarily play slow race, as one of the activities offered yesterday afternoon.
