On the second day of Velo-city 2019, participants had the opportunity to hear some of the best practices shared by the leading cities of Europe during the session dedicated to the ‘Cities & Regions for Cycling’ led by Niccolo Panozzo, Head of Communications at the European Cyclists’ Federation (ECF).

该项目于2011年始于2011年，现在处于第五次迭代。其主要目标是鼓励城市保持动力，更具创新性。This year’s index is a result of several months of research, evaluating cities with four main parameters of bicycle-friendliness: streetscape parameters (bicycle infrastructure, bicycle facilities, traffic calming), cultural parameters (gender split, modal share for bicycles, modal share increase, indicators of safety, image of the bicycle, cargo bikes) and ambition parameters (advocacy, politics, bike share, urban planning). This year’s edition includes a lot of success stories, among which are the cities of Seattle with its very successful regulation and control of the ‘private free-floating bike share marketplace”; Lagos with its cargo bike-powered recycling programme; Izmir with the ‘Fancy Women Bike ride’ and Brussels with its identity programme ‘Bike for Brussels”. Mr. Kabell announced that the top 20 cities will be presented during the 3rd day of Velo-city 2019 and underlined that ‘This year the competition for the top spots was extremely tight with a large number of inspirational success stories among the cities. More than that, we are happy to reveal that 4 newcomer cities have made the cut for the first time in the Index’s eight-year history”.

He ended the session by presenting the Paris Cycle plan 2015-2020 that has the objective of tripling cycling in Paris by 2020.
