Quito: A Cycling Success Story
Committed to making its streets more cycle-friendly, Quito, Ecuador, has implemented large-scale, successful cycling infrastructure projects that make it a cycling success story.
Cycling is one of the healthiest, most efficient, environmentally friendly and financially accessible modes of transportation available. Unfortunately, the lack of safe cycling infrastructure remains a major barrier for would-be cycling residents. In too many cities, cycling infrastructure remains disconnected, incomplete and in need of innovation.
The Bloomberg Initiative for Cycling Infrastructure (BICI) is setting out to identify the most ambitious and innovative proposals to improve cycling infrastructure from cities around the world. Led in partnership with the Global Designing Cities Initiative (GDCI), BICI will award 10 cities up to $1 million to accelerate delivery of these transformative projects.
BICI applications closed on February 3, 2023. Watch the recorded webinars about what was included in this opportunity.

The Global Designing Cities Initiative announced the Advisory Committee for the Bloomberg Initiative for Cycling Infrastructure (BICI) Program. The BICI Advisory Committee members bring decades of experience working in transportation and urban design in cities around the world. Together they provide diverse backgrounds in sustainable mobility and urban development, and collectively they will advise the city selection process, including reviewing and providing feedback on BICI’s application finalists.
On November 1, 2, and 3 we hosted three webinars about the Bloomberg Initiative for Cycling Infrastructure (BICI). These sessions provided an overview of the program, who’s eligible, the application process, and gave city leaders an opportunity to ask questions.
