#VC21 #CycleDiversity #Velocity2021
Velo-city is widely considered as the premier worldwide annual cycling summit, serving as a global knowledge exchange platform.
It brings together all those who are involved in the policy, promotion and provision for cycling, active mobility and sustainable urban development. The aim of the conference is to influence decision makers in favour of more active and sustainable mobility and to inspire vibrant discussions between conference delegates.
Since the Velo-city series began in 1980, it has played a valuable part in promoting cycling as a sustainable and healthy means of transport for all. The conference exhibition showcases the latest innovations and joyful experiences one can only experience by bike.
Join us and celebrate the Cycle Diversity!

"When I have more time, I usually ride calmly by the river. it's much more peaceful and I end up taking time for myself. I use my bicycle to be able to take time for myself, to do what I want with myself and to have time to think and to relax."

"Riding a bike is feeling the wind in your face, feeling the air, listening to the birds, feeling the city, feeling the movement of the city, getting to see better houses, people, walks and trees. All of it. A person has another perception when he is on a bicycle."
- Sonja Weber, Bicycle user in Lisbon for 3 years

"What I think really boosted the use of bicycles in Lisbon was the shared bikes Gira. A person takes a bicycle at one station, leaves it at another, does not have to worry about it anymore and is very cheap, not least because you can combine it much better with other public transport."
- Filipa Peres, Bicycle user in Lisbon for 3 years
