Bikes can change mobility in our cities – but how? If you’re looking for an answer, come to Rotterdam on September 18-20: the second edition of our Masterclass on bicycle urbanism Designing the Cycling City will give you an answer to this one, and any other questions you may have on the topic. This is what this three-day Masterclass can help you with: Learning how to design and introduce infrastructure changes to specific urban and semi-urban contexts; Building a database of international best practices of cycling urbanism; Discussing and assessing a multitude of new approaches to active mobility; Gaining insight into the Dutch approach to cycling; Understanding the connection between historical context and infrastructure possibilities of bicycle planning.

Inspired by Delft, can Chennai create a connected & high-quality cycling network for a healthier & less congested city? #Chennai #Cycling #UrbanPlanning Here's how Delft's cycling infrastructure success story can be relevant to Chennai: Similarities between Delft and Chennai: Densely populated urban area: Both cities have a high population density, making cycling a potentially attractive option for short trips. Traffic congestion: Chennai struggles with traffic congestion, similar to the issues Delft faced in the 70s. Cycling infrastructure could offer a faster and more reliable alternative. Applying Delft's learnings to Chennai: Dense cycling network: Chennai could create a connected network of cycling paths reaching most neighborhoods and key destinations. This would encourage people to cycle for everyday errands and leisure. High-quality infrastructure: The cycling paths should be well-maintained, with a smooth surface, proper signage, and separated from car traffic for safety. Prioritizing cyclists: Similar to Delft, Chennai could consider prioritizing cyclists at intersections and roundabouts, making cycling a more attractive and time-saving option. Challenges in Chennai: Existing infrastructure: Retrofitting existing roads with cycling paths might be challenging due to space constraints. Public awareness: Encouraging a car-dependent population to switch to cycling might require public awareness campaigns highlighting the benefits of cycling. Parking and security: Secure parking options for cycles at destinations would be crucial. Potential benefits for Chennai: Reduced traffic congestion: More people cycling would mean fewer cars on the road, easing traffic flow. Improved air quality: Reduced dependence on cars would lead to cleaner air. Healthier population: Cycling is a healthy mode of transportation, promoting physical activity. More livable city: A cycling-friendly city creates a more vibrant and accessible urban environment. Overall, Delft's experience shows that a well-designed and connected cycling network can significantly increase cycling rates. By adapting this approach to Chennai's specific context and overcoming the challenges, the city can reap the numerous benefits of a more cycle-friendly environment.

As simple as that... without good infrastructures we can't achieve our goals for a more sustainable mobility. Infrastructures first!

For those who know me, and those that don't, I'm relatively new to cycling of this nature. But having caught the bug, I'm looking forward to joining Andrew Hoare and our friends at The Escape for what promises to be another great day of networking with like-minded industry professionals. Please follow the link below if you'd like to grab one of the few remaining places and give it a try too. I'll see you on the saddle next week🚴♂️ #networking #property #slipstream

Urban mobility -and cycling specially- can be a catalyzer of economic and social development in cities, improve well being and accelerate the sustainable transition. So anyone working on sustainable development, social cohesion and healthy cities should be paying attention to this crash course (and of course the ones working on urban mobility too, we need you!) During 3 days we will share ideas, best practices and tools to design a cycling city in your local context, learning from the dutch experience -and with a touch of south american examples too-. See you in Rotterdam? Early bird tickets are still available #healthycities #urbanplanning #cyclingcity #urbanmobility #sustainability #

I ended 2023 with an architectural competition submission. The R4A-Ramp for all Cyclist's House is an architectural concept that serves as a holistic solution to promote and facilitate cycling as a litestyle. Central to its design are seamlessly integrated ramps that allow cyclists to enter and exit the house with ease, symbolizing the connection between the cycling lifestyle and the architecture itself. The Cyclist's House, with its integrated ramps, exemplifies a groundbreaking architectural solution that not only makes cycling a lifestyle but seamlessly incorporates it into the very structure of the building. The ramps provide practicality and convenience, while the sustainable materials, safety measures further promote the ethos of a cycling-focused habitat. It's an architectural concept designed to inspire a community of cyclists and encourage others to adopt this environmentally friendly and healthy lifestyle. #inclusion #sustainability #architecturalcompetition

🚲 Hello everyone! We have a new study out for Urban Planners and Cycling Enthusiasts! 🚲 How can we foster synergies between cycling and public transport to improve job accessibility in your city? This is the question Niels van Oort, Hans Van Lint, and I tackle in our latest study. We introduce a method to identify most relevant locations for cycle-and-ride infrastructure (bicycle parking and cycle lanes) from an accessibility perspective. Key highlights: - Our approach quantitatively evaluates how integrating cycling with transit can enhance accessibility.  - We dissect the impact of each potential cycle lane and bicycle parking facility on overall accessibility gains.  - This method offers valuable insights for practitioners in cities looking to expand their cycling infrastructure. 👉 Dive into our interactive data story to see the findings in action: https://lnkd.in/eqm78jS8 👉 For a deeper dive, read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ef3fC2kq #TransportGeography #Accessibility #UrbanMobility #Multimodality #Cycling
