Promoting Cycling in Florianópolis: The Pro Velo Troplicalis Initiative

The Pro Velo Troplicalis initiative in Florianópolis aims to promote cycling as a sustainable transportation method in Southern Brazil. Founded in 1997, the project focuses on improving urban cycling infrastructure, advocating for cycling policies, and organizing community events. Despite challenges such as heavy traffic and limited cycle lanes, the initiative seeks to raise awareness, encourage bicycle usage, and connect communities through cycling activities. Through educational campaigns and technical meetings, Pro Velo Troplicalis is working towards transforming Florianópolis into a bicycle-friendly city.
