Pacific Northwest cycling compared to Netherlands
Too late for the seminar but it will come around again and the end has
contact info From: Johanna Wright From: Master of Public Policy Program Please distribute widely The Public Policy Program Brown Bag Lunch Seminar Series proudly presents: "The royal mode of urban transport: Cycling in the Pacific North West and the Netherlands" with Loek Hesemans Thursday September 13th, 2007 from 12:00-1:00pm at Harbour Centre Room 3000 Cycling is interwoven in Dutch culture even the royal family rides bikes. The Dutch are almost complacent about it, and rarely think about the advantages of cycling as mode of transport. In the Pacific North West, cycling is definitely on the rise, both as a form of recreation or sport and as a serious mode of transportation, but it remains a marginal mode. Maybe Dutch experience can help accelerate its growth. Loek Hesemans works for the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sports in the Netherlands. A study tour in a foreign country is part of the curriculum of his Master programme at the Netherlands School of Public Administration in The Hague, with which Simon Fraser has an exchange relation. During his study tour he is comparing public cycling policy between the Netherlands and the Pacific North West.
