Cycling Cities
In 2021, amid the devastation of a global pandemic, there were signs of hope for cycling as an essential, reliable, healthy, and affordable mobility solution. We launched Cycling Cities (cyclingcities.itdp.org) as a worldwide campaign to help cycling become a permanent, reliable, and safe transportation option in cities.
As the campaign wraps up in 2025, join our panelists worldwide to discuss the transformation of urban cycling over the past four years, the achievements of the campaign’s thirty-four cohort cities, and the lessons we have all learned for continued action. Interpretations available in Spanish and Portuguese.
