From bike bus to BMX: Creating resilient communities by making cycling fun and safe

19 Jun 2024      16:00 - 17:00       PIERKE (Freewheel stage)      Storytelling
Connecting people & communities
In these times of global transformation due to the accelerating climate crisis, bicycles can help us build resilient communities in many ways. The prevalence of women and children who use cycling for transport or recreation is a strong indicator of that community’s overall resilience. This session will present four stories of how cycling-based community-centered programs are making their respective communities more resilient and inclusive for all ages, abilities, genders and ethnicities. From bike buses in Portland, Oregon USA to critical mass rides in Nairobi, Kenya to cycling education and racing in the UK, our panelists will inspire you and give you hope for the future of women and children in cycling!
