How to become a true Bicycle-friendly Community
Charter & Action Plan

How to participate

Through the Spicycles Approach,  Velo.Info and Velo Mondial are now able to assist cities to really become bicycle friendly! The procedure is the following:


In Spicycles there 60 European cities can be invited to participate. Cities who participate will be asked to provide information in return for which:

  • They will receive an Velo.Info status Award in Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum for their cycling policy.
  • They will receive their ’City Characteristics Report’ and it will be published on the Spicycles Interactive Map for Europe on Cycling planning.
  • Participating cities will be able to produce online a Comparison Report comparing their city with other participating cities.
  • They will be invited to discuss results of the work done in Seminars and Meetings.
  • They will receive Electronic Newsletters and will be kept informed.

 We ask participating cities to engage in two activities:

I: Velo.Info Benchmarking:

Benchmark your city/community with Velo.Info; there are 19 multiple choice boxes to tick, on the following iussues:
