Transport Minister Aaron Farrugia went for a bike ride with cyclists yesterday…

The lanes were so bad that he had to use the pavements…

And then announced a €35 million investment in a bicycle network. 

The bike ride was part of a challenge posed by Bulletproof who invited Aaron Farrugia to join them and thus see the state of the bike lanes around Malta. 

In association with Rota, this great initiative led to a ‘bicycle network being planned for and not through a piecemeal approach alongside car-centric projects.’

Some did critique the idea of having to have the transport minister out in the road to actually witness the state of the lanes. However, this initiative did reap some good fruit given the Minister’s furthered incentive to improve the quality of the lanes. 

Bulletproof thanked Farrugia for taking up the challenge who, on his part, also revealed a national strategy for modern cycling along with the €35 million investment.

Farrugia has just joined Wasserman Music Agency, one of the world’s biggest entertainment industry players. They boast other big names such as Sean Paul and Sean Mendes. 

And Shaun’s name will be listed right next to theirs as he gears up for the launch of his solo career with Polydor, which also lasts names like Lady Gaga and Selena Gomez. 

This came after the Maltese song-writer’s world famous collaborations with DJ Martin Garrix, who worked with and pushed Shaun’s voice into massive events all around the globe. 

This new deal signing is a gigantic step in and of itself, but it will serve as a stepping stone towards even more achievements and possible collaborations for the Maltese artist.
