Cycling promotes personal health and well-being; it is economical and to the extent that it can replace the use of private cars, helps reducing air pollution.
Eurostat estimates that approximately 12.2 million bicycles were produced in the EU in 2020.
The sold production of bicycles greatly varies among EU Member States for which data are available, from approximately 1 500 bicycles in Denmark up to over 2.1 million bicycles in Italy and over 2.6 million in Portugal.
