We promote cycling as daily means of transport, so that more people cycle more often. Bulgarian Cycling Association was created in 2003 in Burgas, Bulgaria. The main activity is popularization of cycling in Bulgaria in the following directions:preparation and lauchning of bulgarian Cycling Strategy, inclusion of cycling policies in the plans for regional development (INSPIRED), development of the
Black Sea Cycling Trail as the next Euro Velo route, activities promouting cycling as a daily means of urban transport. Since 2012 we work on a project "Iron Curtain Trail", cofinanced by SEE. The further development of Euro Velo is a key activity of our organization as a partner in ICT. the concept is that the number of cyclist using the ICT will significantly increase in case there is a proper cycling infrastructure along the Black Sea Coast. We got support form National, Regional and Local authorities in Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria adn Turkey for the development of the Black Sea Cycling Trail. For Bulgaria the BSCT will be recognized as a key touristick strategy. Target groups:
- People that don't cycle - to make them cyclists
- People that think that cannot cycle - to show them what fun it is
- People that are afraid to cycle - to show them the safe bike, the safe way and the safe place.
- People that care too much for their car-related status - to show them they are wrong.
- People that cycle the wrong way - to show them the right way.
