• Membership is open to anyone who works for one of the EU institutions who cycle to work, or want more cycling, or think cycling is a good idea, or want to support one of our other goals.
• Membership is free, and all members receive the EUCG newsletter.
• Most members joined because a colleague told about EUCG. And some members joined after participating to one of our training courses, events, or campaigns.
