BACKGROUND
COLIBI is the Association of the European Bicycle Industry; COLIPED is the Association of the European Two-Wheeler Parts' & Accessories' Industry. The aim of the European associations is to promote the common interests of the European bicycle and bicycle parts’ & accessories’ industries. COLIBI and COLIPED are the official spokespartners of the relevant European industry. As such, they keep in regular contact with European policy makers, European bicycle trade and cyclists’ associations, the European standardization body CEN, the industry, mobility experts and the press. COLIBI and COLIPED campaign for:
- the appointment of a European Bicycle Officer within the European Commission; - the application of a reduced VAT rate on all bicycle products and services; - a better recognition of the (potential of the) bicycle and cycling in European policies and the
development of a bicycle (cycling) strategy by European policy makers; - the introduction at European level of reliable and comparable statistics related to cycle
infrastructure, costs & benefits of cycle use, traffic accidents, etc.; - a better and easier access to European funding and financial means; - the introduction in the allocation of European funding of effective criteria that serve sustainability;
The European associations fully support the European (EN) safety standards for bicycles. COLIBI & COLIPED have a Liaison status within CEN TC 333 ‘Cycles’ and are member of the Global Alliance for EcoMobility. To promote the European bicycle parts’ & accessories’ industry, COLIPED annually organizes a joint European participation in the Taipei Cycle Show (Taiwan). Initiated in 1993, the joint European booth has known an ever increasing success. In 2008, 27 European bicycle parts’ & accessories’ manufacturers joined the COLIPED booth. Our members are the national bicycle industry associations in 12 different Member States: Austria, Bulgaria, Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, Finland, France, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands.

THE EUROPEAN BICYCLE INDUSTRY
More than 20,000,000 bicycles are sold annually across Europe. This total exceeds that of any other means of mobility (cars, motorcycles etc.). On average, European citizens own more bicycles than any other means of transport. Via their national associations, all major players on the European bicycle market are represented within COLIBI & COLIPED. The bicycle is:
- the most environmentally friendly, energy efficient and sustainable means of mobility; - the cheapest means of mobility (no ownership- motorway or registration taxes, no insurances, no
driving license or parking costs and no high service maintenance costs); - the most healthy and social means of mobility; - the most time-saving and silent mode in urban areas; - the most accessible mode of transport; - simply the best mobility mode in urban areas.
“Colibi represents the European bicycle manufacturers. In many factories the manufacturing consists of painting and assembling of bicycles. Bicycle parts for assembly are sourced both in Europe and the rest of the world. For our customers it is important that the production of mainly medium to high-end bicycles is realized near the European home market. In this way deliveries to customers can be more flexible, e.g. the produced series can be smaller and the delivery times can be shorter.” René TAKENS –COLIBI President
“Coliped is proud to represent a very lively, creative and sportive Industry like the European Bicycle Parts and Accessories: the development of always better performing European manufactured components is helping the global challenge towards the absolute excellence to be delivered to our enthusiast cyclists: the more the quality of bicycle parts improves, the more we help the wider diffusion of marvelous bicycles in Europe and worldwide. Our existence is strongly tied up with the health of the European bicycle producers, who -like us- mix very successfully some legendary historical brands with a very modern approach of: "Innovation and Quality First!" . The E-Bike sharp sales’ increase proves the need of better equipment. I am very honored to say: the European Bicycle Parts’ and Accessories’ Industry is here to stay!” Moreno FIORAVANTI – COLIPED President
