European Cycling Lexicon

You are cycling abroad and need some help with repairing your bike? You don’t know what “flat tyre” means in Polish or Italian or in any other of the official 23 EU languages? No problem. The European Cycling Lexicon, published by the European Economic and Social Committee, has translated all main bicycle-related vocabulary into all the languages.

EuroVelo

European Parliament votes to include EuroVelo into TEN-T
In 2009, the European Parliament adopted a resolution to include EuroVelo in the trans-European transport network.  It “asks the Commission and the Member States to consider the EuroVelo-Network and Iron Curtain Trail as an opportunity for promoting European trans-border cycling infrastructure networks, supporting soft mobility and sustainable tourism”.  To view the resolution in full please click here.

The ECF welcomed this vote. A recognition of EuroVelo as TEN-T would mean structural funding for this European cycle route network and its timely completion.
