The main goal of the CYCLO - Cycling cities project, subtitled as Local Possibilities for Sustainable Mobility and Tourism Development, was to promote the use of bicycle as a daily means of transport in small and medium-sized towns as well as the development of cycling tourism. Within the framework of the project a document was prepared with directions for the development of support cycling infrastructure in towns and education-promotional activities for municipalities in the area of the Heart of Slovenia. By including local agents from the field of cycling, connective cycle routes have been opened with a network of bicycle rental shops in order to develop cycling tourism.
