This document discusses cooperation between non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and municipalities to promote cycling infrastructure. It analyzes the current roles of NGOs in "climber countries" as catalysts that bring groups together and substitute for deficiencies in the public sector, though they have limited resources. The document advocates for NGOs to cooperate with decision-makers through participation and common work rather than demands. It provides examples of an NGO in Hungary collaborating with municipalities by establishing long-term agreements, organizing professional events, and providing consultation and expertise during infrastructure planning processes.
