Cycling enthusiasts may want to head to Seville in March to
attend Velocity, which will explore how bikes can be incorporated into
modern life.
The global conference boasts a packed programme of talks, debates and exhibitions,
including a keynote speech by Italian cartoonist Francesco Tonucci.
Better known to his readers as Frato, the artist has spent years trying to make
major cities in Italy more child-friendly.
There will be a multitude of interesting discussions taking place throughout the
event, which runs from March 23rd to 25th 2011.
A spokesperson from the Velocity 2011 team described in a statement how proud
Seville is to be hosting the occasion.
They explained that the number of people in the city who cycle every day has risen
from 6,000 to 66,000 over the past three years.
"We are confident that we have established the basis for Seville to become a member
of the 'club' of cycling-friendly cities, making for happier citizens," the
representative added.
The event costs €324 (£272) for one day or €648 for the whole conference, although
there are concessions for students.
It will run from 09:30 to about 18:30 local time every day at the Centro de
Convenciones Gran Sevilla.
