Presented by the Projeto Bike Anjo, the paper Infraestrutura Cicloviária em Laranjeiras e Cosme Velho - Proposta para criação de infraestrutura na Região (Bikepath infrastructure in Laranjeiras and Cosme Velho - proposal for the creation of Infrastructure in the Region) highlights how Many cities in the world are perceiving the need to create cycling spaces for the people of the city, improving their lives by making the act of travelling more pleasant and healthy - The city of Rio de Janeiro has made this realization and is implementing many actions to improve people's lives in this regard.

Civil society is a strong ally in this fight, as it is the people who live out the routes day by day and know exactly what the demands are.

A representative group from the neighborhoods of Laranjeiras, Cosme Velho and surroundings areas, perceiving the necessity to improve daily locomotion, mobilized people, created plans, collected opinions, ideas and signatures, ran tours and demonstrations, made measurements and managed to gather enough information to propose a project for the creation of bike path infrastructure in the region.
