With climate change and concerns about the consumption of hydrocarbons, transport policies seek to promote alternatives to the car, especially in cities that are suffocating in exhaust fumes.

Soft mobility is therefore on the rise, and first and foremost, cycling.

In the saddle with partner radios of the French-speaking public media, Radio France, Radio Canada, RTBF, Radio-Télévision Belge Francophone, RTS, Radio-Télévision Suisse, and of course RFI.
