History

Udruga Sindikat biciklista is a Croatian non-governmental organization focused on cycling advocacy. It has been active for at least 15 years, as indicated by the 2026 celebration of its 15th anniversary. The organization runs several long-term projects. The Biciklistički registar (Bicycle Registry) was launched in 2013 by two cycling enthusiasts from Križevci, Ivan and Danijel, to help the cycling community reduce bicycle theft; it was announced to close in 2026. The Sindikalna brojalica (Union Counter) is a recurring volunteer action counting bicycle lights in Zagreb; the 2025/26 edition produced a four-digit number of observations. Pedalafest, an annual festival, marked its 2026 edition with a focus on urban logistics and cargo bikes. The organization is a member of the European Cyclists' Federation (ECF) and participated in its annual general assembly in Brussels in April 2026. It also took part in the REALLOCATE project consortium meeting in Heidelberg in late April 2026. The association maintains a website with sections for news, about, activities, documents, projects, completed projects, blog (Cikloblog), Ciklorejting, and Brojalica, and is present on multiple social media platforms.
