It wasn't until subsequent return trips that I realized how well thought out and studied this phenomenon actually is. In 2019 I had the pleasure of meeting Roland Kager of Studio Bereikbaar while tagging along with a PeopleForBikes Study Tour. His presentation and analysis of the data that he's collected drove home just how these relationships are and the powerful potential that these hold for other cities around the world.So we have your complimentary transit card ready for you, climb aboard, tune in and enjoy the ride.Additional Helpful Links:This episode's landing page on the Active Towns website for embedded videoDutch Cycling Embassy Knowledge Clip pdf on the Synergies Between Cycling, Public Transport, and Urban Planning Dutch Cycling Embassy Video featuring RolandFollow Roland on Twitter @BikeTrainGuruFour Easy Steps to Support My Efforts:1.
