ConBici was established in 1990, in a context of growing interest in active and sustainable mobility and urban cycling in Spain. It was created to coordinate different local cycling associations that were already working to defend the bicycle, with the aim of joining efforts, sharing experiences, and increasing their capacity to influence mobility policies and urban planning.[2]
In addition to its role of representation and coordination, ConBici carries out various activities and projects to promote cycling culture. These include the organization of congresses, cycle touring gatherings, and collaboration in educational and research initiatives related to sustainable mobility.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
