Cycling-friendly labels

Cycling-friendly services make your cycling tourism experience an enjoyable and quality one. There are cycling-friendly labels in more than 20 European countries, certifying that accommodations, restaurants, and other businesses along your way are ready and happy to welcome you and your bicycle!

Cycling-friendly labels guarantee a set of basic services for you and your bicycle, such as safe parking for your bicycle, lockers for your luggage, one-night stays, information on cycling networks and maps, repair tools, free charging of e-bike batteries, facilities for drying wet clothing, luggage transfer services, and more.

Cycling-friendly labels can cover restaurants, cafés, accommodation providers (from campsites to five-stars hotels), tourism offices, tourist attractions, bicycle rental and repair shops, among others. They are usually easily recognisable thanks to a distincitive logo.

In 2025, ECF identified more than 20,800 certified businesses and 22,300 services part of cycling-friendly labels across over 20 European countries.

Below, you will find an interactive map and a grid presenting more than 25 cycling-friendly labels across 20 European countries. Some schemes operate at regional level (in blue), while others are national and cover wider geographical areas (in yellow). This overview is not exhaustive and is based on information provided by ECF’s network of National EuroVelo Coordination Centres (NECCs) and other partners.

At the bottom of the page, you will find European-level resources that may be of interest to organisations managing cycling-friendly labels or looking to develop such schemes. Indeed, cycling-friendly labels are essential to the success of cycling tourism destinations, contribute to the development of sustainable tourism offers, and ultimately support the economic growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
