Velo Mondial

The premier global sustainable mobility and cycling network

Velo Mondial has been promoting cycling as a positive mode of transport in the last 10 years. In various projects that we have been reporting about at our site and blog, we have been active in bringing cycling at the position where it is now: one of strong and positive opportunities for a world looking for sustainability.

We will continue with organizing the most relevant global conferences on sustainable mobility and cycling as we have done in the past. We will liaise with cycling networks and organizations all over the world but primarily we will continue to work with local governments and with knowledge based oriented organizations in the field of sustainable mobility.

We focus on sustainable mobility, with cycling as one of its prime opportunities. We will bring with us, all our experiences that we gathered in:

NATCYP: the first European National Cycle Policy Benchmark Program
Velo.Info: the database for cycling expertise
LUTR/PLUME: the European land use and transport research project
UTBI: The Urban Transport Benchmark Initiative
Susta-Info: Global database of case studies and publications on sustainability
Spicycles: sustainable policies for cities on cycling

From 2009 the main projects for Velo Mondial will be:

CIVITAS PLUS MIMOSA: Making Innovation in Mobilityand Sustainable Actions; in Gdansk, Talinn, Funchal, Bologna and Utrecht
Safer Brain: Promoting a safer position for vulnerable road users in Brazil and India with a number of international partners.
Amsterdam Cycling to Sustainability with a focus on knowledge and with ambitions to set up the Amsterdam International Academy for Sustainable Mobility
The New Amsterdam Bike Slam in New York
The Master Class Sustainable Urban Mobility in Amsterdam

We will focus on systematically gathering information on sustainable mobility and make it available in innovative ways, as soon as it becomes available on our various websites.
