Dublin successfully hosted the Velo-city conference in 2005. Since then, Dublin has remained committed to sustainable transport and active mobility and has increased the number of cyclists in the city by 147%. The number of Dublin City residents who mainly cycled for their commute is up 48% from 2011. Dublin has also introduced and expanded one of the most successful bike share schemes in the world, Just Eat dublinbikes. 

Velo-city, the world’s premier cycling summit, will be hosted in the Convention Centre, Dublin from the 25th to 28th of June 2019.  The conference will bring together global experts in the field of cycling and transport planning.  The conference title is ‘Cycling for the Ages’ and will explore visions for the cycling city of the future and how we get there from the cycling city of today; how can we support and design to ensure measures taken are inclusive for all ages, abilities and nationalities. 

In today's interconnected and inexorably linked global society and economy, nothing can happen or be achieved in isolation. The overlapping sub-themes of Velo-city 2019 Dublin (Technology, Intelligent Transport Systems and Data Analytics; Health & Social; Environment & Infrastructure) are not only meant to enable an integrated and comprehensive approach to cycling but to demonstrate that 'Cycling for the Ages', requires a systems perspective.
