EuroVelo's aims and administration

The aim of EuroVelo is to encourage people to try cycling instead of driving for more of their journeys. Although some people will have the wonderful experience of cycling right across the continent, most journeys on EuroVelo will be local - to school, work, shops or for leisure. But every journey on a EuroVelo route will be slightly more exciting and enchanting, because the user will know that he or she could keep on cycling to Moscow, Athens or Santiago de Compostela. The Obradoiro façade of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela: an all-but-Gothic composition generated entirely of classical details Santiago de Compostela (2004 pop. ...

Development of the EuroVelo routes is carried out by national, regional and local governments and NGOs in all the European countries. The international status of routes selected to form part of EuroVelo helps in the preparation of funds and political support for construction. Only routes approved by the EuroVelo route coordinator have the right to call themselves EuroVelo; this is an important badge of quality for both the cyclist and the route promoter. A non-governmental organization (NGO) is a non-profit group or association that acts outside of institutionalized political structures and pursues matters of interest to its members by lobbying, persuasion, or direct action. ...
