Bologna invites European Cities to 2015 European Cycling Challenge (ECC2015)
The Cycling Challengewill be held throughout the month of May 2015. Cities challenge each other in using bicycles as a mode of daily urban transport. Participating cyclists, each tracking their own bike rides with a free GPS-based smartphone app, will contribute to the total number of kms cycled in their cities.
More features available for 2015
The 2015 edition will be characterized by a dedicated App, under developing in these days, that will answer the needs expressed by former participants. The new features will include live heat-maps (see images below), the possibility to create sub-teams among companies, schools, organizations and automatic elaboration of the trips that will simplify the participation to the Challenge.
