“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”
Albert Einstein
The year 2020 is slowly but surely coming to its end and we hope this newsletter finds you safe and well. The past twelve months have brought many challenges and obstacles in different aspects of our lives. The same goes for the implementation of the SABRINA project (Safer Bicycle Routes in the Danube Area). Since we believe in the words of John Maxwell who once wrote that “Teamwork makes the dream work”, a strong consortium of 11 project partners and 4 associated strategic partners was built. We overcame the obstacles of 2020 and we are determined to keep the balance even firmer in the year ahead.
The SABRINA project focuses on road infrastructure safety for cyclists as one of the most vulnerable road users. It tackles cycling infrastructure safety issues on existing, planned, and missing cycling corridors crossing nine countries in the Danube region. A few thousand kilometers of bicycle routes will be inspected using specially equipped vehicles, software, and trained analysts. Our goal is to improve conditions for road bicycle infrastructure safety in the region by raising the capacities of all relevant national, regional, and local stakeholders to build and improve bicycle infrastructure in a safe and sustainable way.
The updates about the project are posted on the project webpage and social media accounts. Two to four times per year the highlights will be collected in the form of the newsletter. We hope you will join us on the journey towards safer bicycle routes in the Danube area and beyond.
