the team says the key to cleaner air lies in the massive reduction of individual motorized traffic. the simplest solution – the good old bicycle. it's lightweight, agile, parkable just about everywhere, an active counterpart to an often sedentary lifestyle, space-saving, affordable and best of all – there are no exhaust fumes involved. to avoid and shift polluting motorized traffic, more dedicated bike routes need to built and linked cleverly. and yes of course the whole traffic system needs a complete refresh and the bicycle is one very effective element within it.

by now the cloud cyclist was on the road in munich germany, milan italy and brussels belgium. the project received overwhelming press feedback and attention around the globe.
