The municipalities that sign the Charter of Brussels (PDF, 0,05MB) make a commitment to:

• reach the objective of a participation of at least 15% of the cycle in all movements by 2020 and to take measures to pursue this growth if this objective has already been reached
• fix an objective -50% for the cyclists who run a risk of being victims of a fatal accident by 2020
• develop parking spaces for cycles and elaborate a policy against the theft of cycles
• participate in and develop projects to increase the use of the cycle for movements to and from work or school
• contribute to the obtaining of a more long-lasting tourism by investing in measures to improve cycle touring
• collaborate in a very narrow way with cycle associations, organizations, police forces, consultants, centres of expertise,... in order to realize these objectives and call the other European cities to follow this example

The question of signing the Charter of Brussels has also been discussed at the Bike Committee on 12 June 2009.
