The call from Swiss Cycling is: "Your opinion counts! Are you interested in political events in the field of grassroots sport? Or are you involved in the implementation of local cycling activities? Or are you interested in sharing experiences?"

As Swiss Cycling has already announced, the association is organizing the first national workshop for the exchange of information at local level under the leadership of Pete Stutz, who is responsible for grassroots sport. All those involved in and committed to cycling policy in the two-wheeler scene are invited to attend.

The aim of the workshop is to take stock of the current/target political situation in the area of popular sports throughout Switzerland. Based on local projects, such as urban facilities in the neighborhood, full moon biking with lamps, licensing problems in road cycling or similar, the workshop will identify possible topics and focal points for action.

In the final part of the workshop, a new commission (FAKO) for grassroots sport will be established, according to the association. Participants and anyone interested in joining the committee will have the opportunity to become part of this new FAKO. Around ten people from as many regions of Switzerland as possible should be represented on this committee. The aim is to actively promote and advance grassroots sport in close cooperation with those responsible within the association.
