The Velo-city is the annual global summit on cycling and the conference series serves as the major global platform for the exchange of visions, knowledge, expertise skills and good practice on cycling as part of daily transport and recreation and on cycling related policies. More specifically, Velo-city promotes the integration of urban cycle planning into all the relevant public policy sectors, including transport planning, land development, public health, education, environment, economy, energy and human rights. – See more at: http://smartset-project.eu/news/velocity-2015-7000-cyclists-and-smartset-middle#sthash.a1fOONFR.dpuf
