Cycling Embassy of Denmark

The Cycling Embassy of Denmark (CED) is a Danish network organization dedicated to the promotion of cycling as a means of transportation and Denmark as a cycling nation by capitalizing on the deep rooted Danish cycling culture to offer solutions to urban planners across Europe and the world in the areas of urban planning, bicycle infrastructure development, and cycling promotion.

History

The CED was founded on 12 May 2009 during the 2009 Velo-city conference in Brussels. The Danish ambassador to Belgium, Jørgen Molde, conducted an inauguration ceremony that attracted the attention of the Danish and international press as well as politicians and urban planners in attendance at Velo-city.[1]

The CED comprises a network of Danish cities, companies and associations, including:

Leadership Award for Cycling Promotion
