After a memorable Velo-city in Lisbon on 6-9 September, we’re pleased to officially launch next year’s world cycling summit, Velo-city 2022 Ljubljana.

Cycling tourism is booming. Over the past two years, the pandemic has acted as an accelerator to previously existing trends from across Europe, with more people choosing to spend their valuable free time in the saddle.

ECF CEO Jill Warren joined high-level travellers aboard flagship Connecting Europe Express trip from Zürich to Bern, promoting the need for seamless bicycle-to-rail travel.

The cycling action plan, which goes by the name “BE CYCLIST,” lists 52 action points that Belgium’s federal government will implement by 2024. This first-ever federal Belgian cycling plan was welcomed by ECF Members Fietsersbond and Gracq.

The European Cyclists’ Federation (ECF) is a new nonprofit partner of 1% for the Planet, an alliance of more than 6,000 business and individual members that give back to support environmental nonprofits.

Just in time for the federal elections, children from across Germany will unite for a nationwide demonstration in pursuit of more and safer cycling for kids.

At the world cycling summit in Lisbon on 6-9 September, Jill Warren made it clear that there is no conceivable way to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, the European Green Deal or climate-neutral cities without significantly more cycling.
