Cycling Coalition

Cyklokoalícia (English: Cycling Coalition) is a Slovak civic association (občianske združenie) and advocacy brand focused on the development of sustainable mobility in Slovakia, especially cycling and walking. According to its official website, it has worked since 2011 so that people in Slovakia can move around more healthily, safely, sustainably and pleasantly. It is based in Bratislava and has gradually expanded its activities to several Slovak cities, including Košice, Ružomberok, Poprad and Zvolen. The organisation operates as a non-profit advocacy and campaign platform rather than a commercial manufacturer or retailer. Its work combines promotion of urban cycling, urbanism and quality of life in cities with practical projects, seminars, bicycle counts, and commenting on legislation. It is a member of the European Cyclists' Federation and the World Cycling Alliance, which gives it a recognised position in the international cycling-advocacy community. Cyklokoalícia's public-facing brand is built around several recurring projects and campaigns. "Do školy na bicykli" (Bike to School) is an annual campaign encouraging pupils and students to commute to school by bicycle or scooter; in 2020 it involved almost 50,000 pupils from 238 kindergartens, primary and secondary schools across Slovakia. "CykloDobro" is the Košice branch's annual activity of repairing used bicycles and giving them free of charge to people from socially excluded communities, held during European Mobility Week. "Cyklomestá" is an international conference on mobility held every year over a full weekend, with dozens of speakers from across Europe; in 2025 it took place in Trnava. The website also lists projects such as "Bicyklovanie neobmedzené vekom" (Cycling unlimited by age), the Central European Active Mobility Lab, and a study trip to Utrecht and Amersfoort in the Netherlands. The brand communicates through its official website, Instagram and Facebook, and publishes news, tools, publications and a wiki. Its editorial output covers topics such as pupils measuring air quality at schools, pedestrian routes near the Petržalka tram line, parking policy producing cycle lanes on Opavská street, and best-practice study trips abroad. Because it is an association rather than a company, it does not have shareholders, a ticker or a conventional product line; its "offerings" are campaigns, conferences, research and advocacy services for healthier and more sustainable Slovak cities.

Cyklokoalícia was founded in 2011 in Bratislava as a Slovak civic association dedicated primarily to urban cycling. From its base in the capital it gradually expanded its activities to several Slovak cities, and its website lists Bratislava, Košice, Ružomberok, Poprad and Zvolen among the cities where it works. Since its founding it has framed its mission around enabling people in Slovakia to move more healthily, safely, sustainably and pleasantly, with a focus on cycling and walking as everyday transport. Over the years the organisation has built a portfolio of recurring projects and campaigns that define its public brand. "Do školy na bicykli" (Bike to School) is an annual campaign supporting pupils and students who commute to school by bicycle or scooter; by 2020 it had grown to involve almost 50,000 pupils from 238 kindergartens, primary and secondary schools across Slovakia. "CykloDobro", run by the Košice branch, repairs used bicycles each year and provides them free of charge to people from socially excluded localities, taking place within European Mobility Week. "Cyklomestá" is an annual international conference on mobility lasting a full weekend with dozens of speakers from across Europe; the 2025 edition was held in Trnava. The website also lists projects including "Bicyklovanie neobmedzené vekom" (Cycling unlimited by age), aimed at seniors, and the Central European Active Mobility Lab, which studies changes in Bratislava, Prague and Budapest. Beyond campaigns, Cyklokoalícia engages in advocacy and knowledge work: it organises seminars, conducts bicycle counts, comments on legislation, and maintains resources such as a wiki, tools and publications. It is a member of the European Cyclists' Federation and the World Cycling Alliance, connecting its Slovak work to wider European and global cycling advocacy. Its news output has covered topics such as pupils measuring air quality at schools with self-assembled sensors, pedestrian routes near the Petržalka tram line, a study trip to Utrecht and Amersfoort in the Netherlands, and cycle lanes on Opavská street emerging as a side effect of parking policy. Through these activities the association has become a recognised Slovak voice for urban cycling, urbanism and quality of life in cities.
