Cykelfrämjandet Bicycle Courses, SwedenCykelfrämjandet is a Swedish organization working to improve the cycling environment in Sweden. One of their projects provides bicycle courses to give more people the opportunity to easily get around. They hold courses both for children and adults. Their project “We roll freely” targets children in the fourth grade, and aims to integrate bicycle education into regular schooling. The children learn about the positive benefits of cycling as well as traffic rules and how they can cycle safely, in order to make the bicycle the obvious transportation choice. Cykelfrämjandet also holds bicycle courses for adults in five Swedishcities: Malmö, Stockholm, Jönköping, Uppsala and Norrköping. The aim of these courses is to encourage more people to cycle to work, school, or for leisure. They also educate new bicycle instructors to assist and educate less-experienced cyclists.
