"Winter is coming" they say. And it is true. Winter is going to be tough for many reasons, but none of them should make us forget that the most important challenge we face as a species is Global Warming.

Despite the incredible social, economic and environmental cost caused by air pollution, most cities are still designed with a strategy that puts the car at the centre, something that puts at risk not only our health, but also the necessary reduction of emissions to tackle the climate crisis.

In addition to supporting the world of culture, by supporting this music festival, we want to amplify our message that a new, more conscious and sustainable mobility is possible.

The climate emergency is forcing us to be much more sustainable. While governments are discussing how to tackle global warming, many of us have decided not to wait any longer. At Capri Bikes we are convinced that the electric bike is the key to progress towards 100% sustainable urban mobility. Here are some facts to help you understand why.

The growth of Biciclasica - our parent company, founded twelve years ago and already the number one classic bike marketplace in Europe - and also of our Capri Bikes brand in recent years has been truly spectacular.

The electric bicycle is already the ideal way for two out of three Germans to get to work. This does not mean that two out of three Germans commute to work by electric bike (at least not at the moment), but rather that more than 65% of Germans rate electric bikes very positively, above all other means of transport.

"More kilometres, more use, more cycling"... but why? The most comprehensive study carried out to date concludes that users of pedal-assist bicycles use them more often and more frequently than any other means of transport, as well as cycling many more kilometres than users of conventional bicycles.

What is the 15-minute city? Experts incorporate this proposal into smart cities. Paris has emerged as the paradigm of this new urban model in which citizens have all essential services at their disposal in less than a quarter of an hour by bike or on foot.
