The CIVITAS training ‘Cycling 2.0’ will bring you the best of the Dutch cycling culture. Learn how cycling has gained strong foothold in sustainable urban mobility policies and about some great Dutch examples of bike promotion projects. It will enable you to design effective and creative cycling projects in your own city. Join us at The Hoxton in Amsterdam on 8 April and experience the Dutch (bike) culture!
