My friend Gianluca Santilli told me about the Bike Economy and I think it is really a big solution for the quality of life of modern cities. I noticed also in my quite small city as Verona how much could be important if people could move more with bikes, without stress, traffic and also saving money. It is clear that also city mangers have to build up a structure of the city to help people to ride safe. My suggestion is to participate to this event to discover how wonderful will be a everyday city like that.”
