The open date for the next Velo-city is 2011. Velo-city Series Director and the Council will produce a 'Request for Proposals' document that will be sent to all interested cities, and a timescale will be set. A host city is not chosen at the outset of the selection process, but those who are interested are invited to bid for the right to be the host city.

The bid process goes through a shortlisting and final presentation stage, before the final choice is made by the Velo-city Council. Once the bid has been won, the individual Velo-city events are planned in partnership by the host organisers and the Velo-city secretariat. It is felt that this combination of local interest and skills, matched with our international experience is the best guarantee of success. For more information on this process and the next selection stage, please contact Dr Bernhard Ensink, the Velo-city Director, details below.
