Is cycling political? Yes! But if you look at cycling behavior there is basically no political polarization in the Netherlands. No matter green, liberal, Christian, populist - we see a strong mainstream culture of cycling, even across political affiliation. Willem R. Boterman shows his recent research to our participants in Planning the Cycling City. Read about the Dutch case of challenging mainstream cycling culture in Willem's paper "Carrying class and gender: Cargo bikes as symbolic markers" https://lnkd.in/dGgHrSDu

"A lot of homes and workplaces are being built throughout the region, so the number of people who want to cross the IJ is only increasing. We expect between 20,000 and 25,000 people to use the bridge every day." Deputy Mayor Melanie van der Horst Photo: NL Times https://lnkd.in/d3mRkvkV

“As a Dutch🇳🇱 person, you feel an immediate connection with fellow 🚲cyclists. In the Netherlands, we don’t call ourselves cyclists; it’s just a part of our daily lives. Whether you’re going to the grocery store 🛒 or the library 📚, the bicycle 🚲 is simply how you get there. However, in other places, cyclists are still seen as PIONEERS, leading the way towards a more sustainable lifestyle.” ...beautifully said by Sebastiaan Messerschmidt, Consulate General of the Netherlands in Vancouver. In my latest CityUX podcast episode, we sit down with Brett Petzer, Mobycon to delve into cultural differences 🇨🇦vs🇳🇱 of cycling in Vancouver, Canada🇨🇦 BONUS: Can you spot our 🇨🇦🇳🇱 pins?
