Detailed description (English): Members of TD Laporje (a small village tourism club) are inviting people from around the town of Slovenska Bistrica to cycle to the town's farmers market as part of the European Mobility Week. The cyclist's goal is to meet at the market on Saturday 21 September 2024 where we will offer them refreshments. Cyclists will also have the opportunity to get their bike checked by a professional and get safe cycling tips.
Our villages (Laporje being one of them) are part of the Slovenska Bistrica municipality that has to date failed to develop a modern and safe cycling and pedestrian path network.
With our call to cycle to the Saturday farmers market in Slovenska Bistrica we would like to highlight the need to make our local roads safe and equipped for pedestrians and cyclists. It will also be an opportunity to raise awareness about safe cycling and we will encourage participants to use well-functioning bicycles, helmets, and other necessary safety equipment (child seats, visibility etc). Our event is open to people of all ages who enjoy moving in a healthy and nature-friendly way.
Detailed description (original language): Člani Turističnega društva Laporje pozivamo prebivalce Občina Slovenska Bistrica, naj v sklopu Evropskega tedna mobilnosti kolesarijo do grajske tržnice v Slovenski Bistrici. Kolesarji se bodo dobili na tržnici v soboto, 21. septembra 2024, kjer bodo prejeli prigrizek in pijačo, na voljo pa bodo tudi strokovnjaki z nasveti za varno kolesarjenje in hiter servis koles.
Občina Slovenska Bistrica še ni razvila sodobne in varne mreže kolesarskih in peš poti, ki bi povezale njene vasi in naselja. Z našim pozivom h kolesarjenju do grajske tržnice v Slovenski Bistrici želimo opozoriti na to, da je treba ceste v naši občini opremiti za pešce in kolesarje. Hkrati bo dogodek priložnost za ozaveščanje o varnem kolesarjenju, od udeležencev pa bomo pričakovali, da bodo uporabljali dobro delujoča kolesa, čelade in drugo obvezno varnostno opremo (otroški sedeži, vidnost itd.). Našega dogodka se lahko udeležijo ljudje vseh generacij, ki se radi gibljejo na zdrav in naravi prijazen način.
Target group(s): People of all ages willing and able to cycle to the local farmers market.
Objectives: Highlight the need to equip our local roads for pedestrians and cyclists; raise awareness about safe cycling and active mobility.
