Velo-city 2021
Efforts to move more Europeans onto two wheels have stepped up in recent years, with more cities investing additional time and money in cycle-related projects.
Speaking at theVelo-city 2021conferencein Lisbon last week, Jill Warren, CEO of the European Cyclists’ Federation, said: “It cannot be said enough: there is no conceivable way to achieve the sustainable development goals, the European Green Deal or climate-neutral cities without significantly more cycling.”
The four-day conference, held both in-person and digitally, brought together cycling experts from all over the world to discuss the latest trends in the industry.
On the sidelines of the event, Brussels Minister of Mobility Elke Van den Brandt received an award for the promotion of cycling from the Cycling Embassy of Denmark, after unveiling a plan to triple the use of bicycles by the city’s residents by 2030.
“I am very honoured to receive this prize,” said Van den Brandt.
“It’s a prize I share with the many thousands of Brussels residents who choose an alternative and thus join the fight against air pollution and car pressure in our city.”
