In the upcoming years, we count on the EP to open new funding possibilities for cycling in next MFF (2021-2028) and to create cycling-friendly directives (for example requiring even safer motorized vehicles, better infrastructure and cycling-friendly fiscal / financial conditions)".

"A decade ago cycling was not on the menu of European politics, was not considered as a solution for major challenges. "We are proud to lead this consortium of organisations calling for a strong, structural support in the European Parliament for such an important topic" declared Adam Bodor, Advocacy Director at ECF, opening the session.
