Members
Membership of the ECF is open to organizations which have an interest in the bicycle as an everyday form of transport or a means of recreation. Membership is subject to agreement by the majority of the existing members.
Full membership is open to European groups of cycle users who primarily aim at promoting the bicycle as an everyday means of transport or recreation, and who have paid the agreed subscription. This entitles them to vote at ECF AGMs.
Associate membership is open to: European groups who do not meet the criteria for full membership but who support the aims of the ECF, cycling organizations from outside Europe or other bodies with an interest in cycling.
They pay the agreed subscription, receive material and may attend the AGM or working groups meetings, but do not have voting rights at meetings.
However, commercial undertakings and associations representing commercial interests who wish to express their sympathy for the aims of the ECF cannot become Associate member but the Management Committee may grant them the status of Supporting Member. The subscription depends on the type of organization.
