No doubt, inventing the two-wheeled velocipede was the starter for a sustainable development. In the early days the benefits being more relevant for the social and economic aspects of sustainability, nowadays the ecological benefits of human power vehicles becomes increasingly important also – worldwide.

Many prejudices against cyclist today have their parallel one, if not even their roots, in the past. We are confident, the rehabilitation of Karl Drais und appreciating his invention is not only required to be aware of history better, but also is supporting sustainable development of urban traffic.
