🚨🚨🚨This Wednesday, 4 PM! Join us at Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change to talk about cycling infrastructure in Toronto and Mexico City with Thomas van Laake

Many thanks to Robert Zaichkowski (rzaichkowski.bsky.social) for writing up his notes from last month's cycling meet up at the UofT.

His blog has been a great resource throughout my research and I'm honoured to be featured!

Glad I could provide a lot of insight into the complicated and political process of bike lanes in Toronto for his piece.

He compares both Mexico City and Toronto’s cycling networks, how they came to be & what are some of the challenges they both face.

How does Greater Manchester's push for a 'world-class' active travel network shape up against global peers?

At this exciting event, I'll be comparing cycling practices, infrastructure planning, and policy processes beyond your typical 'cycling cities'. Do come along!

Looking forward this Thursday's (virtual) New Perspectives On Cycling Policy and Practice in the GTHA seminar! Amazing speakers include Zarah Monfaredi Lanrick Bennett Jr. Brian Doucet Madeleine Bonsma-Fisher Becca Mayers Kojo Easy Damptey Thomas van Laake Adam Hasham Marvin Macaraig (and me!)

In the second session of the day speakers spoke about their research into local net zero transitions ⚡we heard from Alexandra Barrueta Sacksteder, Thomas van Laake and Dr Claire Brown about net zero communications by corporations, cycling infrastructure policies and social housing 🌱

John Fredy Bustos López 😽 Thomas van Laake Cuatro factores fueron clave para el éxito en Cali: la voluntad política, la participación ciudadana, la fortaleza institucional y la redistribución de la calzada. 🪁

John Fredy Bustos López 😽 Thomas van Laake La redistribución de la calzada en Cali involucró reasignar espacio para ciclorrutas y parques lineales, lo que redujo costos y tiempos, pero también generó debate. 🪁

John Fredy Bustos López 😽 Thomas van Laake La seguridad vial impulsó la ciclo-infraestructura en Cali debido al aumento de la siniestralidad en ciclistas. La infraestructura existente presenta retos en segregación y conectividad. 🪁

Saludos al Thomas van Laake, que nos acompaño, rifada esa playera👌

John Fredy Bustos López 😽 Thomas van Laake El artículo concluye que la implementación de ciclo-infraestructura en Cali representa un gran avance, pero también plantea la necesidad de mejorar y ampliar la red, garantizando continuidad de los procesos y articulación de los actores, así como la evaluación de impactos. 🪁

Bravo Thomas van Laake!! Investigador todo terreno del ciclismo en el Valle de Mexico -

Thomas van Laake Zarah Monfaredi Lea Ravensbergen Brian Doucet Madeleine Bonsma-Fisher Becca Mayers Kojo Easy Damptey Toronto-Danforth NDP Felt Toronto Cycling and Pedestrian Projects Bike Share Toronto Toronto Public Health When your elected municipal rep spends more time, effort, & political capital acting like a #NIMBY to stop the possibility of building more housing over picking up the phone & demanding a car dealership stop the dangerous practice of parking in a bike lane, we're kind of screwed.

My head is still spinning from the exciting ideas (not to mention some genre-redefining slide design and alliteration). #AAG2023

Toronto is integrating equity criteria into cycling planning. Will this help planners achieve it's long-standing city-wide network target? And how does cycling equity map onto the city's downtown-suburb divides?
