The latest number of the Journal of World Transport Policy & Practice is now
available: Vol. 13, No. 1. “At the Frontiers of Cycling: Policy Innovations
in the Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany”.

 

>From the Editor's Foreword:  "This is a special-issue WTPP monograph on
cycling – particularly on international variations in cycling activity.  The
objective here is to make sure that the intelligence virus infects enough of
our senior decision-takers, politicians and bureaucrats to produce a radical
transformation of cycling so that in the majority of urban areas of the
world we can deliver one third or more of all trips by bike. The same point
applies to walking trips and to so-called “active-travel” in general. It is
clear to us that many of our much publicised transport policy objectives
including climate change, health and social inclusion will not be achieved
until we produce seriously high levels of active travel/". John Whitelegg.
