What does all this have to do with health and well being?

Thinking about the future of cycling, keeping in mind different needs of different target groups and the possibilites that modern variations of the bicycle have to offer … What would happen if we would put a healthier and more fair transport system in the heart of transport / cycling policies?

  • Would different measures be implemented?
  • Would our cities look different?
  • Would cycling become more accessible and common?
