| Velo-city is widely respected as the premier international cycling planning conference series in the world. Cycling is increasingly recognised as an efficient, healthy, quick and environmental form of transport, and Velo-city seeks to encourage cycling as a part of daily transport and recreation. Velo-city began in 1980 in Bremen with around 300 participants and was heavily involved in the founding of the European Cyclists' Federation three years later. Velo-city conferences attract not just one type of profession, but bring together all those who are involved in the policy, promotion and provision for cyclists. Answering the growing demand for expertise in cycling from cities, ECF has decided to hold an annual Velo-city conference as of 2010. The next Velo-city conference Velo-city Global 2010 will take place in Copenhagen. |
