Potential Bicycle City World Locations Bicycle City is a planned car-free community where people live, work and visit. Its eco-friendly design is healthy, sustainable and could be applied to urban or non-urban areas. Residents who own a car can conveniently park it on the edge of the community nearest their home.
 Why are we working on this international eco-friendly communities project? For people, animals and our earth.
 People... When we ask children to draw a place where they would like to live, they never include smog, traffic or factory farms. They draw the sun, rivers, smiling people and animals. More...

 Our Earth... Our sustainable communities can have a hugely positive impact on our planet and be part of the solution to global warming, pollution, deforestation, etc. More...

 Animals... We respect the rights of animals and consider their welfare in all we do. Bicycle City will have policies and programs to make our community safer and healthier for all creatures. More...
