The Consulate General of Royal Danish Consulate General in Guangzhou and the Guangdong People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (GPAFFC) jointly organized the "Guangdong-Denmark Friendship Ride" green cycling event on the Ersha Island on May 5th. About 60 representatives from foreign consulates and PAFFC member groups participated in the event.

Soren Bindesboll, the Consul General of Denmark in Guangzhou, said, "Cycling is suitable for everyone. It can bridge divides and bring people together. As an enjoyable activity, it provides a physical workout, refreshes the mind from the pressures of work, and allows people to become more attuned to their surroundings. Moreover, cycling can contribute to reducing carbon emissions."

As a cycling enthusiast, Bindesboll is impressed by the changes that Guangzhou has made for cyclists. " I commute and take my kids to school by bike every day. The road traffic here is very safe, and there are many facilities available for cyclists, which makes cycling even more convenient." He hopes that the event will promote cycling in Guangzhou.

Liu Chenzi, the President of GPAFFC, said that major cities in China, including Guangzhou, have opened up more bike lanes to provide better infrastructure for green and low-carbon living. It is hoped that both domestic and international friends can enjoy the beauty and convenience of cycling and life in this floral city of Guangzhou. She also called on everyone to take this event as an opportunity to make low-carbon emission and green travel a part of their daily lives, and to work together to contribute to achieving the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Li Wei, the Director of the ITDP Bicycle Project, said at the event that there are currently 400,000 shared bicycles in use in Guangzhou. "Guangzhou is committed to building a pedestrian and bicycle-friendly city and creating an attractive pedestrian transportation network."

According to public information released by the Guangzhou Municipal Planning and Natural Resources Bureau, Guangzhou plans to achieve the "6080" passenger transport target in the city by 2035, based on the construction of approximately 2,000 kilometers of urban rail transit. The city also aims to become a pedestrian and bicycle-friendly city by creating an attractive pedestrian transportation network, and promoting walking and cycling as modes of transportation, with the goal of shaping over 50% of daily-life road space for pedestrians and cyclists.

【视频】中外友人环岛骑行，共享广州生态美

丹麦王国驻广州总领事馆和广东省人民对外友好协会（以下简称“省友协”）于5月5日下午在二沙岛联合举办的“粤丹友约”绿色广州骑行活动。外国驻穗总领馆代表及部分省友协团体会员代表约60人参加当天活动。

丹麦驻广州总领事沈博（Soren Bindesboll）在谈到组织此次活动的初衷时表示：“骑行适合每一个人。它可以消除分歧，让大家变得更团结。骑行也充满乐趣，它可以锻炼人的身体，为大家在繁重的工作之外，提神醒脑，让人可以更深入地了解周围的事。同时它也有助于减少碳排放。”

沈博是一位骑行爱好者，他说，在广州，他深刻地感受到这座城市为骑行爱好者做出的改变。“我每天上下班和送孩子上学，都是骑自行车。这里的道路交通非常安全，还为骑行爱好者出行提供了很多设施上的便利。”他还表示，希望今天的活动能让“骑行”的概念更深入广州的群众。

广东省人民对外友好协会会长柳琛子在活动致辞中表示：“包括广州在内的中国各大城市也开辟了更多的自行车道，为绿色出行、低碳生活提供了更好的基础设施。希望各位中外朋友都能在广州这座花城享受到骑行、生活的美好和便利。”她还呼吁大家，以此次活动为契机，让低碳减排、绿色出行成为大家的生活习惯，共同为实现联合国2030可持续发展目标贡献力量。

活动现场，ITDP自行车项目总监李薇表示，当前广州正在运营的共享自行车数量是40万辆。“广州提出建设步行和自行车友好城市，打造有吸引力的步行交通网络。”

根据广州市规划和自然资源局公开资料显示，当前，广州规划到2035年，在建成约2000公里城市轨道的基础上，实现市域“6080”客运目标；建设步行和自行车友好城市，打造有吸引力的步行交通网络，推动生活性道路的步行和自行车空间达到50%以上。
