ECF is working as an umbrella organisation for national and local associations which have an interest in promoting cycling as a daily means of transportation and recreation. These associations in their turn are based on their individual members, people from all different backgrounds that are united by their passion for cycling and sustainable mobility.

ECF supports its member organisations in many different ways, for example through the Leadership Programme. This Programme exists because we believe in the power of cycling advocacy to change society in favour of cycling. We believe that cycling has the best chance of growth where there are national associations of cyclists and supporters who have the knowledge, skills and capacity to influence national decision-makers.
