May 9, 2024 - In early March, the International Cargo Bike Festival (ICBF) announced the City of Utrecht as its new 2024 venue from Oct. 25-26, in conjunction with Dutch Cycling Week.

This marks the first time the event will be held in Utrecht, a city with a multicultural population of 360,000. In contrast with previous years, ICBF 2024 will be a stand-alone event.

Utrecht boasts world-class cycling infrastructure, including the largest bicycle parking facility in the world, located at the railway station — the busiest and biggest in the Netherlands — right next to Jaarbeurs, the venue for ICBF.

Utrecht is also one of the most cargo bike-friendly places with many initiatives, entrepreneurs, businesses and organizations using cargo bikes.

The ICBF expo, test track and busy stage present many opportunities for cargo-bike and cycling-related businesses and organizations to showcase their offerings.

Last year’s ICBF co-located with Fully Charged’s Home Energy and Electric Mobility show, but due to a date change for the upcoming event in Amsterdam, the organizations parted ways on friendly terms.

Dutch Cycling Week aims to become the world’s largest platform for knowledge sharing, policymaking and stimulation for bicycle use, and the ICBF plans to explore possibilities around this platform in the coming years.
