1. Advocacy: More people cycling – good for business, good for the planet, good for people.

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 ECI 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.

Through:

• Active monitoring of developments in markets and legislation
• Direct contact with key decision makers and stakeholders
• Building alliances and partnerships
• Expert Group work
• High-level policy events, workshops and webinars

ECI informs policymakers of the economic, social and environmental benefits of the cycling sector as a whole and showcases the work of our members in clean mobility, shared mobility, electric mobility, sustainable leisure, ITS, connected cycling and industrial policy topics such as sustainability.

In addition, we make an annual donation to the work of the European Cyclists' Federation (ECF), supporting their expertise in lobbying for cycling infrastructure, cycle tourism and road safety which all help get more people on bikes.
