Pierre and his acolytes offered “rickshaw rides” to the Bagnolais. The communities (Uggo for the Agglo, the Region for Lio, the Bagnols town hall, the tourist office, etc.) informed the public about their offers. mobility”. Visitors were able to prepare their smoothie while pedaling! Or discover Nordic walking with the BMA and its champions. “We propel ourselves with the poles, which lightens the weight on the hips and knees, and we work the upper limbs,” summarizes Bernard Terrasson, Gard champion in his category.
