You are responsible for the development and coordination of the activities of the Mons site, which radiates throughout the Province.

👉 Missions Implantions Pro Velo

Each location – made up of workshop coordinators, bicycle mechanics, project and project managers, educational coordinators and trainers – carries out the following main tasks:

• Reception and information for the general public at Pro Velo.

• Sale of new and used bicycles and accessories

• Mechanical workshop – repair for the general public.

• Management of a fleet of bicycles: maintenance, fleet renewal, external rentals, etc.

• Management and development of bicycle testing projects and services to municipalities and companies, in collaboration with the other Walloon departments.

• Project development and organization of training in schools, companies and for the general public throughout the province.

The location of Mons also has the particularity of evolving in interaction with local cycling associations:

• The Bike Hub, created in 2023 at the initiative of the City of Mons, brings together all the cycling associations, including Pro Velo. Each one ensures that the offer of services for citizens is enriched and thus participates in the construction of a coherent and evolving set of activities.

• In partnership with the City of Mons, we are developing a long-term bike rental offer and saddle up projects that make cycling accessible to everyone in Mons.

The complete team is made up of 11 people: 5 people for the "service" part (3 people for the mechanical workshop including a coordinator, 2 people for the management of daily activities and projects) and 6 people for the "educational" part (1 coordinator and 5 pedagogical officers).
