When people cycle more, its good for everyone, not just the person on the bike. And to get people cycling we need great places to ride and to make sure everyone who wants one has access to a bike. This provides additional business opportunities and ensures industry growth across different sectors
Through the advocacy of CIE and our allies we make sure governments at every level know why they should invest in cycling and have positive cycling policies. We influence policymakers and ensure that the sector is well represented in national and EU policies and measures, and secures sufficient national and EU investment across the continent.

BITS aims to effectively stimulate cycling by making it safer, more comfortable and more attractive by the use of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). Therefore, it is crucial to have a good overview of the current ITS offer for cycling.

Micromobility will be at the centre of the new normal in cities across the World. Suppliers and operators within this field will experience a massive deal of growth in the next decade. The CIE is where these companies can be found. Together, we shape the cities of tomorrow.
I'm thrilled to be working with the world's leading operators and service providers of bike sharing. This group is changing the way we move and making our cities greener and more liveable. Bike sharing is key to providing affordable access to bikes for all and accelerating Europe's shift to zero emission mobility.
