The International Cycling Congress was initiated by the Russian cycling advocacy project Let's bike it! in 2016 and took place in Moscow for the first three years. During this time it has become one of the largest cycling congresses in the world and a popular platform for exchanging experience on promoting cycling and building a convenient and safe cycling infrastructure in the Russian cities.

Among them were policymakers of federal, provincial and local levels, representatives of city administrations, leaders of NGOs, employees of design, planning, engineering and transport organizations, professional and technicians responsible for planning, implementation and maintenance of cycling infrastructure, business community.

Participation in the event is free of charge and everyone interested is welcome! Registration is required. Registration will open in the end of March 2022.
