Description
Ed Lancaster joined GDCI as Senior Program Manager in 2022 to lead the Bloomberg Initiative for Cycling Infrastructure (BICI). This exciting first-of-its-kind global cycling program will work with ten cities that want to realize ambitious projects creating safe, interconnected, and innovative cycling infrastructure.

This network of 17 long-distance cycle routes crosses and connects the whole continent and, when realized, will contribute over €7 billion to the European economy. While there, he was also responsible for the ECF’s work on multimodality and cycle tourism and gained a wide range of experiences, including managing EU projects, organizing international conferences as well as working with different stakeholders in advocating for more and better cycling.
