Ungheni's municipal enterprises take to their bikes — in a town with 311 cars per thousand residents
On Friday, 24 July 2026, from 16.00, the weekly „VeloVineri” campaign run by Ungheni City Hall puts the municipal enterprises in the spotlight, starting from the front of City Hall. Beyond the ride, the underlying stake is real: a town with 311 cars per thousand residents — about 40% above the district average — and with narrow lanes, which has set itself the goal that, by 2030, one in ten trips be made by bike. The figures show major benefits for health and for the wallet; research also shows that a town truly starts pedalling above all when it gets safe lanes, not just campaigns.
