European Cycling Lexicon (23 languages)
With this innovation – the first European Cycling Lexicon that contains key terms of cycling, cycling infrastructure and different types of cycles for different transport needs in all 23 official languages of the EU – the EESC wants to
• help European citizens when cycling abroad to communicate in bicycle shops, travel agencies, the railway station and hotels
• raise awareness about infrastructure that facilitates cycling in order to inspire politicians, planners and peoples’ organisations (and here I especially thank our translators, who had to cover new linguistic territory in those cases where the concepts in question did not exist yet in their language)
• raise awareness about the many forms of human powered vehicles that meet many different mobility needs in a sustainable manner and
• make the point that cycling policy is not only a local but also a European issue.
