VELOCITÉ LANGUEDOC

Velocity claims mobility with ease. It was born out of the Velorution movement in the fall of 2005, at a time when some motorists thought it wasn't good enough to ride a bike. Montpellier has thus joined the club of "velorutionary" cities. Velorutions are cycling events with a festive characteristics. The aim is to promote cycling, to gather and defend bicycle users, to improve the safety of cyclists and to live in more humane, more breathable cities. The association promotes citizen and ecological action. The veloruptions are held monthly, normally on the first Saturday of the month, departing from Place de la Comedy for a short bike ride, but also on a unicycle, roller skates, in tow (drawn by a bicycle)... Vélocity seeks to make cycling known through this movement, while enjoying a car-free city island in a friendly atmosphere.
