United Global Voice

We believe in the power of unity to amplify our message about the benefits of cycling to bring about change at a global scale.

​

The World Cycling Alliance (WCA) is a non-profit organisation registered in Brussels, Belgium, dedicated to connecting, developing and spreading the best cycling advocacy efforts around the world.

We represent a mix of non-government bicycle advocacy organisations for everyday cycling and micromobility, working together to create a unified, effective voice to promote sustainable transport, human health and improved built environments in communities across the globe.

​

We aim to foster cooperation and knowledge exchange among cycling advocacy organisations, ensuring that cycling plays a central role in reducing transport emissions, creating more liveable cities, improving economic prosperity, and enabling social cohesion.
