We are the single European umbrella federation of member-based civil society organisations advocating and working for more and better cycling. 

We promote cycling as a sustainable and healthy means of transport and leisure. 

With more than 70 member organisations from over 40 countries, we harness the power of European cycling movements as the only voice at the pan-European level. 

ECF is the transnational coordinator of EuroVelo, the European cycle route network, used by cycling tourists for multiple day trips or locals for daily journeys. 

EuroVelo is a registered trademark of ECF, developed with the support of National EuroVelo Coordination Centres and diverse partners. 

We are based in Brussels and our roots are in Europe, but the challenges we face are global, and we are ready to meet them as the world’s largest and best-known cyclists’ advocacy organisation. 

EuroVelo, the European cycle route network, is one of ECF’s flagship initiatives. 

This network of 17 long-distance cycle routes, which crosses and connects all of Europe, is the largest of its kind in the world. 

EuroVelo aims to provide safe, direct, coherent and connected cycling infrastructure and cycle route networks that benefit all categories of cyclists, including everyday cyclists, cycling tourists and leisure cyclists.
