The EU Cycling Strategy, developed by the European Cyclists’ Federation in 2017, aims to integrate cycling into EU policies to promote sustainable transport, improve public health, and reduce environmental impact. It sets ambitious goals like doubling cycling levels and halving cyclist fatalities by 2030. Key actions include investing in cycling infrastructure, integrating cycling into broader policies, securing funding, and promoting cycling through education and innovation. The strategy highlights the economic, health, environmental, and social benefits of cycling, while addressing challenges such as infrastructure gaps and safety concerns. It calls for strong EU leadership to make cycling a central part of transport and environmental policies for a sustainable future.
