Cycling in London: GLA investigation
Friday, September 7th, 2012Alongside Dutch and Danish experts, and representatives from Transport for London and the Freight Transport Association, I’m giving evidence to the Greater London Authority’s investigation into cycling in London. The meeting is open to the public and takes place on Tuesday 11th Sept – more detail here .
The meeting will cover both increasing cycling levels and increasing cycling safety, with topics including cycle infrastructure, HGVs, national and international best practice and promoting cycling.

Cycling and Society Symposium 2012

The
Cycling and Society Symposium
has finished, and I am exhausted – but in a good way
Eighty people (from academia, advocacy, policy and practice) came over the two days and we had a packed programme.
Discussions over lunch and poster session, Monday
Lots of ideas, lots of networking, lots of debate over a day and a half (and an evening in the pub). Nineteen talks (and associated discussion), sixteen posters (ditto), and a Sunday afternoon ride. There was more of an international flavour this year, with contingents from (among other countries) Denmark and The Netherlands. (A moment that made me smile on the ride: when one of the participants, gazing at a ‘good example’ of cycle infrastructure, said tactfully ‘You know it is rather strange seeing this coming from The Netherlands’).
Near Lock 7, Sunday afternoon bike ride.
Thanks to all participants, presenters, chairs, abstract reviewers, co-organisers, helpers on the day, etc… (people who came up at busy points and said ‘what can I do?’, you know who you are!)

I plan, over the next month, to upload and link to files including pictures, audio recordings of talks and presentation files (subject to presenters’ agreement). Watch this space – and, if you’ve got any photos etc. from the event that you’d like me to share links to, let me know
