Dutch Cycling Embassy
The Dutch Cycling Embassy is a public-private bicycle embassy based in the Netherlands established to promote cycling abroad.
The organization is funded by the Government of The Netherlands, and organizes workshops and tours to support adopting Dutch designs for streets, including bike lanes and intersections.
Background
Prior to the oil shocks of the 1970s, cities in the Netherlands were predominantly car-centric. Following the death of a child after a car accident, the Stop the Child Murder campaign led to the expansion of cycling infrastructure nationwide.The Dutch Cycling Embassy was founded in 2011 in response to increase demand for Netherlands-style cycling infrastructure internationally.
