Fietsersbond

The Dutch Fietsersbond is an organisation which represents the interests of cyclists in the Netherlands by working towards the expansion and improvement of bicycle friendly infrastructure. The Fietsersbond does this by lobbying, and working with, all levels of government on urban planning, policies, and laws, etc. to improve cycling conditions and make Dutch cities, towns and country areas safer and easier to get around in for anyone who rides a bike — which is a large proportion of the population: approximately 5 million Dutch people ride every day out of the country's total population of 16.8 million.
The Fietsersbond lobbies politicians and the civil service on all levels — national, provincial & local — to achieve :

excellent and direct cycling infrastructure with a constant aim for new ideas and innovative designs,
more and improved parking spaces for bikes,
effective action against bicycle theft, and
greater safety for cyclists.

They provide and/or conduct:

development of a crowdsourced cycling route planner, maintained by volunteers
giving advice to local, regional and national authorities about cycling policy
national and regional campaigns about cycling facilities, road safety and bike lighting.
research about cycling in the Netherlands

The Fietsersbond has 32,000 members, has more than 1500 active volunteers, is organised into 150 local branches across the country, and is organised from its national office at Utrecht which has 25 staff members. It is a member of the European Cyclists' Federation and through that the World Cycling Alliance and is a principal partner of the Dutch Cycling Embassy. It publishes a quarterly members' magazine called the Vogelvrije Fietser. The organisation also conducts the Fietsstad (Bicycle city) awards|Fietsstad] awards every few years where a Dutch town or city that has done extraordinarily well in improving and expanding its cycling infrastructure, is honoured.
