We are planning a very lively and informative agenda. Speakers have already been approached, and we are pleased to confirm that the following will be presenting.

Lutz Groll, Urban Planner, Hilden City Council. Hilden in Germany has achieved 24% of in town trips by cycle yet spends a fraction of most UK councils on facilities. Find out how Hilden has gained huge benefits in quality of life and better transport through addressing urban vehicle speed and sensible, yet inexpensive highway design. View Abstract

John Adams, Emeritus Professor in Geography at University College London. John’s views on risk have radically altered thinking on developing the urban environment. He is well known as an influential voice in debates on transport policy. View Abstract

Tom Franklin, Living Streets. Tom will develop the separate but often overlapping needs of cyclists and pedestrians. What’s good for cyclists, is often good for pedestrians and by working together then pedestrian and cycling campaigners can be more effective. View Abstract

Peter Cox, University of Chester. Peter’s current research profile centres mainly on cycling and society, applying social theory to a better understanding of why people take up cycling. He will also explore how the promotion of particular cycling such as leisure can have a negative impact on cycling for commuting and everyday transport. View Abstract

Robin Ireland, Chief Executive, Heart of Mersey. This charity has the objective of reducing coronary heart disease in Merseyside. Robin will discuss the role that he sees cycle promotion taking in the charities campaigns and activities. View Abstract

Cliff Moughtin, Emeritus Professor at Nottingham University. Cliff is renowned for his work on “green urban design” and this presentation goes further to show how future urban developments must include the bicycle as a central rather than peripheral consideration. View Abstract

Rod King, Warrington Cycle Campaign. Rod recently presented at Velo-City comparing cycle facilities in the UK and Northern Europe. His presentation will offer a view of the need to sell cycling to a much wider audience. Should cycle campaigners also realign their efforts in a co-ordinated way and concentrate on social rather than highway engineering? View Abstract
