Paraphrasing the title of that film, we dare say that bicycles are for spring, even though we have our self-proclaimed \u201cbike radical\u201d whispering in our ear, \u201cThey\u2019re for all year round, all year round\u2026<\/em>\u201d<\/p> \n \n

But that\u2019s just the way it is. With the arrival of good weather, people are more inclined to take their bikes out for a ride, and luckily, increasingly, not just for rides but as a means of transportation, whether it\u2019s to go to work or to have a drink with friends (if the restaurant industry is open where you live). Add to this the fact that April is usually when new bikes arrive in stores, and with the spike in bike sales we\u2019ve been experiencing since the COVID-19 pandemic was declared, and the stock shortages of some models, it seems there\u2019s now a real desire to own (and use) a bike. <\/p> \n \n

The truth is, we think it\u2019s wonderful. New plans to make cities greener and more bike-friendly (like the one in Paris we recently discussed in the Journal<\/a>, and another that\u2019s closer to home, the plan to transform Mar\u00eda D\u00edaz de Haro in Bilbao<\/a> into a \u201cgreen highway\u201d by connecting two parks), bicycles with waiting lists to buy them, more and more people on the streets, and fewer cars. Sometimes it seems like the future is near and that it will be as green as we imagine. <\/p> \n \n

And tomorrow, April begins. And with it, an initiative that has been running since 2013: #30daysbybike<\/a>. Carla Peirano, Creative Director of Libertad Avenue, participated in this initiative last year and is sure to join in this year as well. And you? Are you up for trying #30daysbybike? <\/p> \n \n
