What is the future of cycling in our cities that struggle to transition to more sustainable and inclusive forms of mobility? What is the role of innovation in ensuring that cycling becomes easier, safer and more accessible for different groups of people? What are Great Bikes and what are Great Cycling Cities? In this course we tackle these questions, but we do so without providing recipes, one-size-fits-all solutions or rankings of innovations. Instead, this course helps you to develop your own approach to cycling futures and innovation. It teaches you to ask critical questions about various aspects of cycling practice and its place in mobility systems, about cycling innovation and the way in which various stakeholders imagine cycling futures. This unique course is grounded in the results of the Smart Cycling Futures project (2016-2020), conducted in the Netherlands but through readings and assignments it engages with the wider world. Course development was made possible by sponsor enviolo.

Interesting perspectives. Exposure to unique ideas and many articles from academia helps frame up new ideas on transportation policy as related to cycling.

A great course to explore the basic tenants of cycling, and to also explore what the future of cycling looks like (with new technologies like e-bikes and apps).
A broad range of teaching methods - videos, interviews, academic papers and summaries, and quizzes - help to improve retention of the material.
It was fascinating. Not just the course material based on the experiences in the Netherlands, Germany and UK but from the other peers and their experiences in DC, UK, Columbia and India. It provided a global context for thinking about cycling as a form of micro-mobility.
Great course, well structured and interesting as usual! ;-)
It is of great value all the testemonial approach, but the essays should be more frequent and smaller, this would provide a deep vision of a projet paper/ case study.
Great to understand more about the grassroot project work, but would love to engage in a deep dive into the transformational community change process.
Let's keep on pedals!
