Velo City
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Velo-City is a series of cycle planning conferences occurring every two years. The conference series was launched in 1980 by the European Cyclists' Federation (ECF). The conferences are one of worlds primary forums for the exchange of bicycling expertise.
