Técnico podcast “110 Histórias, 110 Objetos” – The Técnico bicycles

The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) covers the 110 years of history of Instituto Superior Técnico, through its past, present and future objects.

A collection of objects related to different fields, such as science, music, arts and sports, is the starting point for conversations with people who will tell us more about the history of these objects.

A new episode is released every week. The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) is part of the Público newspaper podcasts.

Today’s episode (#84) –3rd March 2023: “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) – “The Técnico bicycles”

In recent years there has been a growth in the number of Técnico community members who use a bicycle as a means of commuting to Técnico campi, but until a few years ago the scenario was quite different. The two projects created at Técnico, “A pedalar” (2015) and “U-bike Portugal – Operação Técnico” (2018), have contributed to the dissemination and demystification of the use of this sustainable means of transportation. Both projects are still active and the outcome is very positive: hundreds of users, more bicycle parking spots, a bicycle workshop, “a lot of interest” and “less fear”.
