With Luxembourg Pride on the horizon Delano's Teodor Georgeiv sat down with Nicolas Van Elsué, board member of Rosa Luxembourg, to discuss how straightnormativity has crept in the LGBTI+ community among other issues.

Emmanuel Plattard on shifting the gears of cycling culture
In this episode of Newsmakers, Teodor Georgiev speaks to avid cyclist Emmanuel Plattard who turned his passion into a start-up called The Happy Cyclist which is the first mobile bicycle repair business in Luxembourg.
Emmanuel lived in Montreal and London where cyclists take to the bike lanes in far more testing conditions than those in Luxembourg. Nevertheless he saw potential in the cycling culture in the grand duchy, notably in how respectful drivers are to cyclists on the road.
He admits however, that there is room for a lot more bicycle lanes and dedicated cycling paths.
"When you look at a road in the Netherlands, like a country road. You will see that 50% of that road is for the bicycles. On each side of the raod, you have a bicycle path and if you combine them that would make for 50% of the road. That just tells you that the road is not only for cars, it is only for cyclists," he says.
Tune in to get the whole story and find out which Luxembourg bank The Happy Cyclist has struck a partnership with to provide its employees with yearly bicycle repair services.
