Eurovllo, the long-d distanceance cycling route network, creates a starting point for exploring European countries. We focused on improving the Eurov 10 route that crosses eight countries. Bicycle tourism is growing in Europe. But are the countries ready for it? In the bike across the Baltic, we assessed the situation along the Eurovel 10 route in Finland, Sweden, Estonia, and Poland. We found out that there is variation in cycling conditions and services. We developed a guide and selfassessment tool for cycling tourism development based on Eurovvel standards. The guide offers practical advice and best practices for local authorities, tourism destination marketing organizations and service providers for cycle tourism development. Through the development connections to the public transportation and improving communication to the citizens and visitors, we hope to provide more assets for the small and medium enterprises and stakeholders for harnessing the full potential of cycling tourism in the region. Along Uralot 10, progress is on the right path. But to make cycling safer, easier, and more accessible for all, we need continued development and strong crossber cooperation across the Baltic Sea region. [Music]
