Fourth AENEAS Training Workshop: Cycling and
Health in an Ageing Society
Odense, Denmark, 9 - 10 June 2010
 |
The indoor training
was followed by an outdoor study visit |
Active travel, and particularly cycling, can contribute to better
health and increase of life expectancy. These facts are well known
and have been promoted by different scientific studies and European
funded mobility projects, such as Lifecycle, Active Access or
Vianova. But what about older people? Is it not too dangerous for
them to cycle, and do the positive impacts of cycling apply also at
this stage of life?
These questions were investigated in detail by leading international
experts at the 2-day AENEAS training workshop. The first day
included presentations and small group discussions. The second day
was concluded by a study visit in Odense - one of Europe's leading
cities to promote cycling.
