We need to ensure our cities are more liveable and fit for the future. We believe every city can benefit from having a catalyst representing cycling progress and the interests of the community. We call these Bicycle Mayors. Bicycle Mayors can accelerate the changes we need to see by uniting all citizens to take action. They bring creative diversity with new insights and approaches, from both inside and beyond the world of bicycle planning professionals or the political establishment.
They are the human face and voice of cycling in a city. By connecting these changemakers across a global network β creating greater visibility, rapidly sharing ideas, challenges and solutions, β we can create a truly radical shift. Keeps the issues front-and-center and moving forward through global and regional calls-to-action. Promotes the bicycle as a solution to some of the most complex urban challenges. Aligns the network and its cause to other movements and organizations that are also working to create more liveable cities.
