Why should everyone Cycle?

Bike Month is coming up. It is not about riding centuries. It is not about recreational riding at all. It is a serious address to the nation that bicycling is a real and useful option for mobility. Be sure to watch at least some of the video. It is quite long, but does a great job of outlining the evidence for making “cycling for everyone” possible.–Corrie

Remember John Pucher? He’s the Rutgers University scholar who shared his thoughts back in November about how to make cycling “irresistible”.

Now, the bubbly, bike-loving academic who signs his emails as “Carfree John” and who was dubbed “The Bicycle Scholar” by Momentum Magazine, is at it again.

He recently gave a presentation at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver (watch it below) that lays out an inspiring road map to increasing bike mode share in cities.
