The IU-Green spokesman in Murcia, Esther Herguedas, has expressed his desire that the appointment of the Spanish capital city as the bicycle, "the council will serve to do your homework and implement effectively the bicycle as everyday transportation."
Herguedas has welcomed this nomination, but noted that the municipality "has failed to develop its goals of increasing the number of bikes in the streets and reduce road traffic."
In this regard, he stressed that "continuing lack of bike lanes and failed public bike system, one of the most important instruments to implement the use of this means of transportation."
It has also said he hopes to share the work with cities such as Cordoba, Barcelona, ​​Seville and San Sebastian, belonging to the Network of Cities for Bicycle, "allow us to copy some of their good work, starting with open channels for the citizen participation in decision-making. "
