🍃 Great to be able to cycle to @velo-city-conference.com along leafy park corridors and a reminder that what we’re all working towards isn’t complicated. Provide access to bikes + somewhere safe (even beautiful!) to cycle, and more people will, from grandads to teenage girls, kids to commuters ✨

Veni, vidi, bici! 🚲🌊 Yesterday, the bicycle moved to the mainstream at the plenary and then took over the streets of Rimini. Thousands of us rolled through the city, celebrating better mobility, community, and pure #RiminiGoodVibes. 😍 #VC26 #DeliveringTheUrbanDream

So nice… @velo-city-conference.com

Here’s what the conference center car park looks like when it’s a bike conference.

Highlights Day 1 @velo-city-conference.com -- and of course amazing break-time with #velocitizens

Today at #VC26 in Rimini, Dutch Railways (NS) and Movares led a serious game in which participants explored how to futureproof bicycle parking by balancing capacity, accessibility, governance, and urban development priorities while strengthening the connection between cycling and public transport.

This week, the global cycling community rolls into Rimini for @velo-city-conference.com. After riding through the city today, it’s easy to see why. What was a car-oriented seaside town has been reborn as a cycling city by the 'Bicipolitana'—a metro-style bike network that stretches 200km in length.

Fancy a chat about cycle counts, the benefits of our indoor sensor, or our new plans? Then do pop over to stand no. 53 Looking forward to @velo-city-conference.com ! #velocity2026 #trafficcounting #smartmobility

I've only been in Rimini for a few hours but color me impressed with its bike infrastructure! I look forward to learning more at @velo-city-conference.com about how local leaders came to embrace a robust transportation network for people outside of cars.
