Cycling for Life. Promoting Healthy Lifestyles
Launched in April by the Cities for Better Health initiative (Novo Nordisk), together with ECF, the Healthy Cycling Challenge was a global call for innovative and ready-to-implement initiatives that leverage cycling as an active mode of transport, and as a tool for promoting public health, environmental sustainability and social equity in urban neighbourhoods. The three winners have been awarded 100,000 USD each to implement their proposals, and will present their projects in Rimini!
