This report provides a comprehensive overview, for the first time ever, of the status of national cycling strategies in 47 European countries<\/em><\/p>\n

The European Cyclists’ Federation (ECF)<\/strong> is proud to publish its new report, “The state of national cycling strategies in Europe (2021)<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

This report provides a comprehensive overview, for the first time ever, of the status of national cycling strategies in 47 European countries, at a time of growing political interest across the world in cycling as a sustainable and healthy mode of transport.<\/p>\n

A national cycling strategy is a crucial policy tool for countries to develop and grow cycling’s modal share at the national level, with all the positive societal impacts<\/a> that this generates. National cycling strategies are also instrumental if the world is to cut transport emissions quickly and effectively and avoid the worst of the climate crisis.<\/p>\n

With the adoption of the Pan-European Master Plan for Cycling Promotion<\/a> in May 2021, 54 countries in the region are now politically bound to develop and implement a national cycling strategy by 2030. By analysing data from 47 European countries, this report shows that most countries have a long way to go to reach this objective.<\/p>\n
