🚴♂️🌊 Hey, change-makers on wheels! 🌿🌟
New route, new momentum, we’re cycling from Sarón to Pozos de Noja, taking our energy and ideas across landscapes that deserve to be part of a greener future. This ride brings together action and reflection, where every turn of the wheel pushes us closer to more sustainable, inclusive mobility. 🛤️🌍
As we cross rural and coastal areas, we’ll spotlight the real conditions faced by young people and communities with limited access to safe bike routes. It’s a moment to observe, question, and imagine solutions that match the spirit of the European Declaration on Cycling and the dreams we mapped out together. 🧭🔍
Our journey connects not just places, but people, building solidarity, raising awareness, and reaffirming that cycling is a right, not a privilege. The road to change runs through every pedal stroke. 👣💬
Join the ride. Bring your vision. Let’s keep pushing boundaries, making space for youth-led, climate-friendly action on two wheels. 🚴♀️🛤️💫

A well-designed route can help reduce car use, support small businesses, and even create job opportunities. 🗣 What kind of ideas can you explore here? Do you think this route could help people drive less and bike more? Did you pass by cafés, shops, or local businesses? Could they benefit from more cyclists passing through? Can you imagine new job opportunities linked to this route, like bike repair stations, rental services, guided tours, workshops, or events? 💡 Think big or small, what would make this route a real asset for your community and for the planet? 👉 Let your imagination roll and tell us how this route could become a driver of change in your town or neighborhood!
By promoting a bike-bus system for schoolchildren, this route could significantly reduce the number of short car trips in the area, lowering emissions and noise pollution. Although the ride is mainly residential, encouraging more cycling in Sarón could indirectly support local cafés, bakeries, or shops along the way. In the future, this kind of project could open up possibilities for local jobs like bike repair points, cycling education workshops for schools, or even guided rides. The environmental and social benefits of a safer cycling culture here could ripple far beyond just this route.
<p data-start=”2898″ data-end=”3470″>Encouraging cycling on this route could help reduce car use for recreational trips and promote sustainable tourism. Even though it doesn’t pass through many towns, it could still benefit local businesses — such as small cafés, rural guesthouses, or local farms — if rest stops or services were created along the way. This project could also generate new jobs: bike repair services, rentals, guided tours, environmental workshops, or maintenance crews. Investing in this route could turn it into a local tool for climate action, community development, and youth employment.</p>
This bike route does not connect any significant points in the region, so it is mainly used by cars and bicycles for excursions. Once they left the two small villages, there were no bars, shops or markets.
Some cultural events would be very interesting to organize which also could bring young workers.
Maybe some summer camps and school excursions would be beneficial.
