The use of bicycles became increasingly widespread. This is also a great reflection of the sector. I hope that such applications will become widespread in other provinces. Bicycle use is a measure of development in a country. Turkey bikes are sold annually in Germany close to the number 4.8 million population. these figures include the children's bicycles in Turkey is around 1.5 million units.

In the information screens of İzmir Metropolitan Municipality on the roads, we started to take the positive effects of the messages about the use of bicycles for transportation purposes. This should set an example for other metropolitan municipalities. Bu
