Quito will host the 8th Edition of the World Bike Forum (FMB8) from the 25th to the 28th of april of 2019, to promote convivial and safe interactions between street users.

This year, the World Bike Forum will rely on the concept of “Minga”, an Andean tradition where social utility is achieved collectively through community work. Participants will be invited to work on the construction of sustainable mobility for everyone by tackling issues such as ethnical diversity, gender, autonomous work, migration and public policies.

The Ecuadorian capital expects the participation of 5000 citizens from all over the world in the different activities that will take place: conferences, workshops, urban interventions, artistic and cultural expressions and sport activities.
