Press Release: Cycling without language-barriers – EESC launches European Cycling Lexicon’s even more comprehensive second edition

Want to request a "puncture repair kit" in Lithuanian? Or ask for a "Green wave for cyclists" in Romanian? Need to know "Is this road good for cycling?" in Arabic? Or think what Brussels could do to co-finance your cycle ways? No problem – the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) launched the second edition of its popular European Cycling Lexicon at the international cycling conference 'Velo-city Global' in Copenhagen on 22 June 2010. The fully illustrated booklet in traveller-friendly format contains all the answers. It also includes terms useful in the world of cycling and human-powered vehicles in 27 languages, including the 23 official EU languages.
