This article aims to discuss the performance of the Cyklistforbundet (Danish Cyclists’ Federation) as a practice of eco-social economy and conviviality. This entity, founded in 1905, congregates Danish cyclists and develops projects aimed at raising awareness and citizens’ mobilisation, defending the interests of cycling interfaced with the State and different sectors of civil society. Furthermore, this paper does a literature review regarding topics such as ecodevelopment, eco-social economy, human scale development and conviviality. The exploratory research was conducted through an interview script that was applied to the members of the Federation and from its website in order to verify your performance in the territory. This study concluded that Cyklistforbundet goes along with the metamorphose of the Danish society by assuming the interests of social sectors – with whom it dialogues – so that to intervene in political, cultural and existential issues. By doing so, the Danish Cyclists’ Federation contributes to empower both Danish identity and participatory democracy
