Project Title : Kickstand, the bicycle policy training session
Dutch & Danish inspiration for North American Solutions
Client and question: Kickstand is an exciting and comprehensive coaching and training session programme to be launched in North America in Spring 2012.
The aim is to bring together various types of groups with world-class expertise in the areas of bicycle planning, policy, and culture. Using these diverse backgrounds we will create locally relevant insights, solutions, and actionable steps for building bicycle cultures and increasing sustainable mobility. The workshops will be two-day sessions.
Result: Kickstand’s outcome will not only be a stronger understanding of best practice bicycle related implementations and how to market them, but will also provide an opportunity for a continued partnership with Dutch and Danish experts. Listening to you, hearing and visualizing your priorities, we will help you realize the fundamental goal: to get more people of all ages, socio-economic backgrounds, genders, and ethnicities riding a bike.
The Kickstand Sessions will be launched in Canadian cities in Spring 2012.

Project Title: Cycling and Pedestrian Plan Ridderkerk (NL)
Client and question: The Municipality of Ridderkerk has a population of 45,000. About 27,000 inhabitants live in the village, others in the area around it. It is situated on an island in the river ‘de Maas’ in the West of the country, close to the City of Rotterdam. Cycling rates in Ridderkerk are low by Dutch standards: 19% of all trips are done by bicycle. The municipality wanted to develop a new Mobility Plan with special attention to cyclists and pedestrians.
Result: As a part of this new Mobility Plan of Ridderkerk, 2009 - 2015, we have developed the Cycling and Pedestrian Plan. The plan covers topics such as a cycle network, bicycle parking facilities, traffic safety education and communications issues.
Project Title: NAVIKI, Bicycle Route Planner and Information Network
Naviki is a new web portal, from which municipalities, regions, tourism organisations and other partners can benefit in many ways. The system makes the bicycle an even more attractive means of transportation for citizens and visitors. Naviki’s key feature is tailor-made route planning for bicycle traffic. In addition, it is able to convey information concerning locations. Partners can easily provide Naviki with their specific layout and content and use the portal in addition to their existing internet service. With the aid of an EU funded project, chosen partners will be able to implement Naviki at the least possible cost and effort.
