2. Why?
 In Portugal I was interested in this kind of issues making part of a
cycling NGO in Lisbon
 In Donetsk there are no major bike facilities and public transport is
crowded, hence it seems there is potential
What?
 This association will have the the goal of engage the civil society, and
have a horizontal structure
 The main goal is to contribute to a criation of a long term sustainable
plataform for urban cycling
 Future projects will be based on the best international practices,
adapted to the local context

3. What?
 Everybody can help and be important regardless of age, sex, skills
etc.
 To those who have interest in more active participation issues or
who want to know more about bicycling in cities, they can also
make part of specific work groups more linked to their field
Example:
 Communication (journalists, designers, teachers etc)
 Community (everyone)
 Policy (lawers , jurists, politicians)
 Planning & Infra-structure (architects, enginners etc)
