About the ECMC
The European Cycle Messenger Championship (ECMC) is the ultimate urban cycling competition. The strongest, smartest and fastest bike messengers from across Europe converge once a year to determine who is the best in a variety of events that test riders’ physical and mental limits. The mainrace is a fully insured competition on a closed course that imitates daily work in the city. While most competitors are bike messengers, events are open to everyone.

ECMC2008 is a European championship sporting event, but it is also a festival celebrating messenger culture and its broad influence on modern urban culture.

OPEN ECMC 2008 EINDHOVEN
The Bikemessengers of Eindhoven – Tour de Ville - proudly host this years’ open championship:
We invite all European couriers - veterans & rookies, bikemessengers from across the Atlantic and the Far East, ex-engers and anyone else who's interested to come together for a rollin’ celebration in a cycling lovin’ bourgondian Dutch City!

Eindhoven: The largest city in the South of the Netherlands. Not particularly known for its splendour or historical appeal – because there just ain’t any. A stretched L.A. quality...  this industrial and High Tech booming town is where lightbulbs evolved, where farmers run the shit, design rules and inhabitants Rock the place and travel regularly into space by UFO...

The event has exclusive use of the University Campus for the entire weekend, including use of indoor facilities and campground. This means the racecourse & camp are actually right in the centre of town!!
