Our Impact
The 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships set out and delivered on inspiring people of the power of the bike.
Our Impact
The 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships had a mission to inspire people to ride bikes. Those people will inspire more people - everyone’s an equally important link in the chain. Before you know it, those local communities inspire countries and their governments to prioritise cycling. Pedal power for the people. The result is improved air quality, less congestion, and more kids cycling to school. Everyone is fitter, happier, healthier. That’s the power of the bike.
Our aims were to maximise on a small window of massive opportunity and unlock the power of the bike. Read more on our Storybook!
