Ecovolis program has proven successful in significantly increasing bicycle use in Tirana. ==History== The Tirana Community Bicycle Albania project won financial support from the George Soros Open Society Foundation Albania (OSFA). An even larger contribution came from the US-based Pedal for Progress organization, which donated 450 bicycles. Sixty of these were used road bikes, which were modified and painted by local technicians to serve as public bikes in the Ecovolis scheme. In 2012, Ecovalis sponsored a bicycle ride to promote LGBT rights in Albania.〔("Gay rights bike ride attacked in Albania" ).
