Founded in 2012 in Porto Alegre, Brazil, the World Bicycle Forum is a globally recognized conference that brings together cycling enthusiasts, urban planners, policymakers, activists, and community leaders to promote cycling as a sustainable and inclusive mode of transportation. It is a space that raises awareness of the importance of cycling in creating equitable, livable, and environmentally friendly cities, while forging long-lasting bonds over bicycle advocacy in the Americas.
Over the years, the Forum has traveled across various cities in Latin America and beyond, each time fostering collaboration and innovation to make cycling accessible to all.

Hosting the WBF in Montreal presents a unique opportunity to connect the vibrant cycling cultures of Latin America and North America.

As a city known for its extensive bicycle infrastructure, commitment to sustainability, and robust cycling community, Montreal is the perfect setting to advance the Forum’s mission. The event will showcase Montreal's leadership in urban cycling while encouraging mutual learning and collaboration on issues such as community engagement on bicycle infrastructure, urban design, winter cycling, the circular economy, and sustainable innovation.
