The initiative is part of the international bike exhibition “#Bike_it” which Città della Scienza hosts until April 2020 which tells the innovations of the bike from its birth to the present day and which, will be displayed at Canada Science and Technology Ottawa Museum.
The bike is the means of the future. It is fast, light, keeps you fit and takes you everywhere. The development and avant-garde of contemporary cities can be measured not on the basis of the quantity of cars in circulation but on the use of public transport and bicycles; its use, therefore, becomes increasingly a necessity.
