The Digital Innovation in Cycling – DigiCycle project is an Erasmus+ initiative funded by the European Union, led by the Polish Cycling Support Foundation in partnership with leading organisations such as the Danish, German and Spanish Cycling Federations, the European Cycling Union, and the European Network for Innovation and Knowledge.
The project aims to promote cycling and increase physical activity across all age groups through digital innovation and virtual cycling solutions. By harnessing new technologies and the growth of e-sports, DigiCycle encourages wider participation in cycling—from young people to older adults, including underrepresented groups.
Virtual cycling platforms and simulators make the sport more accessible, regardless of fitness level, while delivering significant physical and mental health benefits. The initiative supports sports organisations, cycling clubs and national federations in integrating digital tools to modernise cycling and expand participation.
As part of the project, partners have developed a strategic roadmap to guide national federations in adopting virtual cycling platforms such as Zwift, helping to boost engagement, encourage active lifestyles and strengthen community involvement in cycling.
