The first efforts undertaken by the Normandy Region

In Normandy, the efforts made by the Region to gradually change travel habits are tangible and very diversified. The latter has already invested a significant sum to develop new road infrastructures dedicated specifically to cyclists. Then, it created interesting new services such as inflation stations, secure bicycle parking and the integration of bicycle services into public transport subscriptions.

Other aids and services to encourage the use of bicycles in Normandy

After these first boosts, the Norman public authorities decided to offer other interesting aids and services in order to further encourage the use of bicycles. This is the case, for example, of long-term rental services that allow users to test the advantages of cycling on a daily basis before potentially acquiring their own personal equipment.
Then there is also aid for the purchase of an electrically assisted bicycle subsidized by the Métropole Rouen Normandie and capped at 300 euros.
We must not forget either the self-service bicycle offers (VLS) which result in the provision of a fleet of bicycles parked in the public space and which can be used easily and quickly thanks to automated terminals. . It should be noted that the stations in question are open 7 days a week and 7 hours a day and that all you have to do is subscribe to access the offers.
Finally, it is also worth mentioning the support for cycling associations which encourages, among other things: collective outings, leisure events around cycling, cycle schools, the use of the Geovelo, repair assistance workshops, bicycle recycling and resale workshops, Bicycode marking operations, bicycle rental and training on cycle tourism.
