Dear EUCG Members,
Our AGM will be held on

(Adress: Rue Froissart 36, bike parking entrance via Chaussée d’Etterbeek).
Please come along, not only to listen what we have done/plan to do, but also if you have questions, suggestions, or want to help the committee (a dozen or so volunteers) with their work. Not least we are looking for a new newsletter editor.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

The new Bike experience website is open! It addresses two different ‘target groups’ : ” bikers” and “coaches“.
EUCG members, most of whom we assume are daily cyclists, have the ideal job description for coaches. Would you be interested in sharing your experience with someone who wants to give up their car to experience what it is like to commute by bicycle, and accompany them for a few days in the first week of May on their way to work and back? Read more here.
You may have colleagues, neighbours, friends who are (still) notorious car users, but who are intrigued by our two-wheeled means of transport, and who might be interested in this great opportunity to change their habits. Please inform them about Bike Experience 2011 and refer them to the dedicated website, so they can register as bikers.
Registration for both coaches and bikers closes on Thursday 31 March. On yer bikes!

This spring, Brussels cycling organisations are inviting 250 car drivers to try a bicycle for two weeks and to discover how pleasurable and easy it is to ride a bike every day. We want to break down any preconceived ideas people may have about riding in traffic on a bike and so to enhance their quality of life.
Each cyclist applicant (or ‘biker’) will therefore be given training to ride safely in traffic, and will be given personal coaching (with a ‘coach’).
Are you a daily cyclist? Would you like to offer support to a beginner cyclist? This is a great opportunity for you to show beginner cyclists the world of active mobility!
Come and join the pool of coaches that is now being set up. After the closing of registration (31 March) you will be linked up where possible with a beginner cyclist who takes more or less the same route as you to go to work.
As a coach, you will be asked to:
You will be given an allowance of 120.- EUR (which you can of course decline an donate to a charity). During the training course, you will be given a ‘Guide to the perfect coach’ brochure. And where possible, the home to workplace journey of the biker that you will be allocated in late April will be close to the one that you take yourself.
The registration form in NOW available.
Please also tell your friends, family, colleagues and cycling buddies about this scheme. That way we can reach as many coach applicants as possible – and help to clean up the air around Brussels!

This clip is not (by) us, but was made for a Belgian charity campaign called De Ronde van 11; it’s great fun, though, to watch as an introduction!
