Detailed description (English): With the SHOPPING BY BICYCLE campaign, we want to spread awareness about the importance of locally produced food and the shortest possible delivery routes. As the campaign is taking place across the whole territory of the Republic of Slovenia, this approach will help to reduce the negative environmental impact of transport resulting from the non-use of sustainable forms of mobility at local, regional and national level.
Shopping by bicycle is based on visits to local food providers (farms, agricultural cooperatives, specialised shops), where the cyclists learn in detail about the offer as well as about the problems of local food production.
The shopping routes will take place in the Gorenjska, Karst and Coastal municipalities, on local and traffic-safe roads. Where possible, the route will follow cycle paths (e.g. "Parenzana" in the area of the Coastal Municipalities, Gornjesavska cycle path, etc.). In addition to the offer of local food products, participants will also learn about regional bike rental systems (Gorenjska.Bike, POSBikes, Ebike Koper). In this way, they will also learn about the offer and use of this form of sustainable mobility.
To reach the starting points in each region, participants will use train transport and, where this is not possible, 'car sharing'
Detailed description (original language): Z akcijo NAKUPUJEM S KOLESOM želimo širiti zavedanje o pomembnosti lokalno pridelane hrane in čim krajših dobavnih poteh. Ker akcija poteka na celotnem območju Republike Slovenije bomo s takšnim pristopom zmanjšali negativne okoljske učinke prometa, ki so posledica neuporabe trajnostnih oblik mobilnosti tako na lokalni, regionalni kot tudi na državni ravni.
Nakupovanje s kolesom temelji na obiskovanju lokalnih ponudnikov prehrambenih produktov (kmetije, kmetijske zadruge, trgovine s specializirano prodajo), kjer se udeleženci-kolesarji podrobno seznanijo tako s ponudbo kot tudi problematiko pridelave lokalnih prehrambenih produktov.
Nakupovalne trase bodo potekale na območju Gorenjske, Krasa in Obalnih občin in sicer po lokalnih in prometno varnih cestah. Kjer se le da, bo trasa potekala po kolesarskih poteh (npr. »Parenzana« na območju Obalnih občin, Gornjesavska kolesarska pot, ipd.). Poleg ponudbe lokalnih prehrambenih izdelkov, bodo udeleženci spoznavali tudi regionalne sisteme izposoje koles (Gorenjska.Bike, POSBikes, Ebike Koper). Na ta način se bodo seznanili s ponudbo in uporabo tudi te oblike trajnostne mobilnosti.
Za dostop do izhodišč v posamezni regijo bodo udeleženci uporabili prevoz z vlakom in kjer to ne bo mogoče – »car sharing«.
Target group(s): Adults of all genders, aged 40 - 75 years.
Objectives: The selected group will reduce their daily shopping activities by 20% during the test period and increase their shopping using other forms of mobility, with an emphasis on cycling and taking into account other forms such as using public transport and walking.
