The fourth vice president and minister for the Ecological Transition, Teresa Ribera, will ask her climate and air quality teams to study measures to implement the use of the bicycle as the main means of transportation to maintain social distance at the end of the confinement.
This was confirmed by Ribera in his Twitter account where he describes this initiative, which is also being studied by France, as "a great opportunity in the context of different mobility" .
"I am going to ask my climate and air quality teams to study it with our colleagues from other ministries and from local and regional governments," said the minister on this social network.
Precisely this week the coordinator of associations and cycling groups ConBici have demanded that the bicycle be "a" vehicle of active mobility "in Spain during the state of alarm due to coronavirus, in addition to urging public administrations and civil society to promote its use .
ConBici has indicated that "the bicycle is positioned as an ally in the measures to prevent the transmission of the coronavirus", since "it allows the social distance between citizens, decongests public transport and contributes to keeping contamination levels low", which they are "a critical factor in the transmission of the virus".
