2023 UCI Mobility and Bike City Forum gets underway

The UCI Mobility and Bike City Forum, which brings together cycling leaders, advocates, mobility experts, National Federations, industry representatives and policy makers, on an annual basis, as a hub for exchanging ideas on the future of active mobility, gets underway today, Wednesday 25th of October.

The 2023 edition of the UCI Mobility and Bike City Forum which runs 25-26 October, takes place in Bruges, Belgium, and is delivered in partnership with Visit Flanders and the City of Bruges.

Coming just a few months after the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships, opening day in Bruges will see the public launch the 2022 UCI Sustainability Report.

As part of the UN Sports for Climate Action and Sports for Nature Framework, the UCI is committed to reducing the impact of its operations on the environment and collaborating with stakeholders to achieve significant changes within the sport. By taking action to embed sustainability into the sport, the cycling family will improve and contribute to the state of public health, the preservation of natural resources, the promotion of social justice, and the wellbeing of society and the economy.

Expert panels and presentations held throughout the first day of the forum will include the topics of cycling and climate change, social inclusion, innovation in road safety as well as innovation in public policy.

On the second day, a range of interactive workshop will allow participants to go deeper on topics like safety of cycling infrastructures, cycling promotion, the use of data for cycling promotion or women in cycling and share best practices with a broad network.

The Forum will close with different bike tours that will showcase what the city of Bruges has already implemented for children’s cycling education, road safety, sports innovation, and infrastructure & services.
