Olivier Schneider

FUB's co-president in charge of European networks, relations with government and cyclists with disabilities - Fédération des Usagers de la Bicyclette (FUB)
Brest - France
Serving as the president of the French Federation of Bicycle Users (FUB) for nine years, Olivier Schneider has transformed the organization into a major player in the French cycling landscape. Under his leadership, FUB has seen exponential growth, expanding from 120 to 500 member associations. One of Olivier Schneider's notable achievements is the adoption of an ambitious national cycling plan by the French government, funded with a budget of 2 billion euros. This plan aims to develop cycling infrastructure and promote the use of bicycles as a daily mode of transport. Olivier has also made significant strides in combating bicycle theft and fencing by making it mandatory to mark new bicycles. In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Olivier conceived and implemented the "Coup de Pouce Vélo" initiative. This program facilitated to fix nearly 2 million bicycles.
