Sarajevo is the capital and the biggest city in Bosnia and Herzegovina with urban population of approximately 275.000 and 347.000 in metropolitan area. Geographically, it is narrowly positioned in the valley of river Miljacka and surrounded by the mountains that back in 1984 had been the venue for the Winter Olympics, but more recently, were named as one of the best to-visit mountain biking destinations by National Geographic in 2015 . With its three distinct architectural entities (Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian and modern) that span through five centuries of history, the "Jerusalem of Europe", how the city is often monikered for its cultural heritage, is nowadays facing the challenges of modern urbanism that is driven primarily by economic interests, and hence, the need for sustainable urban mobility development. Meanwhile, CSO organizations vocally advocate for proper-quality road infrastructure with micromobility as an important factor, whereas the individuals are making small innovations in the field with a potential to help solving some of the crucial problems of bike commute worldwide.
