The bike as a vehicle for assistance in Valencia

Thousands of volunteers have joined in the relief efforts in Valencia in recent days, but one of the problems in transporting supplies to the municipalities affected by the DANA is the impossibility of doing so by car. There are several cycling initiatives proposing the use of bikes as a means of transportation to cover long distances quickly.

Initiatives to help Valencia by bike

Among the recommendations that authorities are giving to volunteers is to avoid using cars to reach the affected areas. This is because they could create traffic jams and hinder the vehicles of security forces, so the bike has once again become one of the most effective means of transportation to reach where cars cannot.
