World Bicycle Forum
The seventh edition of the World Bicycle Forum took place from February 22 to 26 in Lima, Peru. The World Bicycle Forum, which started in 2012 in Porto Alegre, is the most important event for urban cycling activism in the world. The transnational forum seeks to push the agenda for sustainable and democratic mobility by spreading awareness and engaging citizens and governments in the promotion and protection of urban cycling. In its seventh edition, the forum was organized by the Urban Cycleactivist Network of Peru, and, besides pushing the transnational agenda for urban cycling, concrete goals were pursued for the country: mobility pacts between public and private institutions, the creation of a public budget for cycling infrastructure and to pass the Bicycle Bill. This last point was achieved months later with the approval and publication of the law Nº 30936 that promotes and regulates the use of the bicycle as a mean of sustainable mobility.
