Official Reception in Konya – European Capital of Cycling

ACES had the great honor of attending the official reception held in Konya – European Capital of Cycling, on the occasion of the inauguration of the city’s new Bicycle Museum.
This remarkable new space stands as a tribute to the rich history, vibrant culture, and promising future of cycling. The museum reflects Konya’s strong and long-term commitment to sustainable mobility, healthy lifestyles, and sport for all generations. It is not only a celebration of the bicycle as a symbol of movement and freedom, but also a clear statement of the city’s vision for innovation and environmental responsibility.
The opening of the Bicycle Museum represents another significant milestone in reinforcing Konya’s identity as one of the leading cycling cities in Europe and beyond. Through this initiative, the city continues to demonstrate how sport and active mobility can serve as powerful drivers of tourism, social cohesion, and community well-being.
We warmly congratulate the city of Konya for this inspiring achievement and for its continued dedication to promoting cycling as a key element of urban development and quality of life.
