Cycling is for everyone, not just those who cycle for sport.

In “The Power of Cycling”, Sarah Whitebread, Head of Policy and Public Affairs at Cycling UK, explores how policy, community programmes and safer roads can help more people experience the benefits of cycling.

Her interview looks at the importance of inclusive cycling, from community cycle clubs and adaptive bikes to access for people with lower incomes. It also shares the stories of women who have built confidence, independence and community through cycling.

Watch the interview to learn how making cycling more welcoming and accessible can support healthier people, stronger communities and safer streets.

In an essay published by REVOLVE, writer Tom Lovett explores how cycling can help rebalance European tourism. By drawing visitors away from saturated destinations and along quieter rural routes, cycling can spread tourism's benefits to villages that need them, rather than simply shifting the crowds.

Cyclists tend to spend more per day than other visitors, and many travel outside peak season, bringing business to these communities throughout the year.

Agathe Daudibon, EuroVelo and Cycling Tourism Director at ECF, emphasises that developing cycling routes is not only about tourism, but also affects the quality of life of inhabitants. Cycling can encourage new services to open, but "tourism alone in a less-visited destination cannot enable a yearly business to run."

Just as important is how people get there: "One of the main challenges of tourism in rural areas is accessibility, while most tourism carbon emissions come from transport. The combination of rail with cycling is particularly efficient, but only if proper services and infrastructure are available."

How did Groningen become one of the world’s leading cycling cities?

“The Power of Cycling” highlights the Gemeente Groningen, where nearly half of all trips are made by bike.

Decades of investment in cycling have helped make the city safer, more liveable and more enjoyable to move through. This includes 312 km of cycling routes, all-green traffic lights for cyclists, wider bicycle paths, cycling streets and secure bike parking.

As communities across Europe look towards cleaner, healthier and more accessible mobility, Groningen shows how cycling can improve quality of life for residents, students and visitors.

As a long-time Knowledge & Network partner, ECF was pleased to attend Mobilise Your City Partnership's 𝟭𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 during !

The event was an opportunity to reflect on a decade of implementing sustainable urban mobility strategies and the conditions needed for them to succeed. This included:

🚲 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀. Different modes should complement each other from the outset to create more efficient and sustainable transport systems.

🤝 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽. This means involving local stakeholders, institutional partners and operators early to build trust and social acceptance, while creating the lasting partnerships needed to make projects relevant and deliverable.

🌱 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. Mobility infrastructure and services should be resilient to climate change and flexible enough to adapt to evolving technologies, travel patterns and needs.

🏙️ 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. Mobility projects can’t be assessed by their financial cost alone. They should be viewed as long-term investments, evaluated holistically against the wider benefits they bring to cities and communities.

🎯 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁. Rapid urbanisation means that mobility projects need to move faster to respond to changing needs. This requires setting clear priorities, responsibilities and helping local actors build the capacity to deliver.

At the same time, the discussion was a powerful reminder that cycling and active mobility need to be given their rightful place in the mobility mix, alongside strong public transport systems.

We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Mobilise Your City Partnership to make active mobility a reality for people and cities!

On 22 September, an event hosted by Brussels Environment brought together mobility experts and stakeholders to discuss the city's low emission mobility zone.

While the zone creates better conditions for cycling, there are still barriers that prevent people from doing so, such as the lack of bicycle parking and safety concerns in general.

“One of the main obstacles for the Molenbeek women who want to start cycling and invest in a bicycle, especially higher-quality cargo bicycles, is: ‘Where do I leave my bike?’ said Benjamin Tollet of Molembike.

Since the Dutch vehicle authority gave Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system a provisional approval earlier this year, it has been in use ahead of a full, EU-wide approval as other countries can accept provisional approvals granted elsewhere.

However, two new studies report issues with the FSD:

Belgian mobility NGO johanna.be found that it routinely breaks speed limits in the places that matter most for cyclists and pedestrians: 30 and 20 km/h zones and Residential Zones

While the European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) states that the speed offset function and the “contextual” speed function breach UN and EU rules, under which the system would be approved

ECF urges the European Commission and Member States to think again about the approval of such functions and to hold off on any EU-wide vote on FSD until a proper public and democratic discussion has taken place.

How can cycling tourism help regions grow more sustainably?

This film from “The Power of Cycling” highlights Pomorska Regionalna Organizacja Turystyczna in Poland, where its stretch of EuroVelo 10, the Baltic Sea Cycle Route, is helping connect communities, landscapes and local businesses along the Baltic coast.

The film explores how cycling infrastructure can support tourism beyond the summer season, giving visitors a more sustainable way to experience beaches, forests, towns and regional culture.

It also shows how cyclist-friendly businesses are becoming part of the journey, from hotels investing in e-bike charging and secure bike storage to local services that help make cycling tourism easier and more accessible.

Pomorskie demonstrates how long-term investment in routes like EuroVelo 10 can support sustainable mobility, strengthen regional economies and connect people more closely to the places they visit.

How can a city make cycling safer for those who do not feel confident cycling just yet?

In “The Power of Cycling”, the BRNOmycity in the Czech Republic shares how it is developing a cycle network shaped by data and community needs to create an environment where everyone feels safe.

The films explore Brno’s work on bike sharing, cycle parking “nests”, safer infrastructure, service points, cyclist counters and shared bike data, all helping the city understand how people move and where better connections are needed.

Rather than building isolated measures across the city, Brno’s new strategy focuses on connected corridors where people can cycle safely, whether they are travelling alone, with children or later in life.

By 2035, Brno aims to create a continuous backbone network of safe cycling routes, helping make cycling a more natural part of everyday mobility.
