Session 1 – The UCI Bike City Pathway – a roadmap to creating bike friendly cities based on the UCI Bike City Label.
Cities around the world are increasingly recognising the importance of sustainable and active mobility, as well as the environmental, social, and economic benefits of promoting the use of the bicycle. The UCI Bike City Label is awarded annually by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) to cities and regions that not only host major UCI cycling events but also demonstrate outstanding commitment to Cycling for All. This new guide provides city planners, policymakers, and the wider cycling family with a comprehensive roadmap to fostering a bike-friendly environment, based on the criteria established to achieve the UCI Bike City Label.
