Planning the Cycling City - Summer 2015
the first ever university course on urban cycling
32
-CONTENT-
Welcome to Amsterdam. The land of bikes. How did it all begin? We’ll look at the historical and political context of cycling in The Netherlands, delve right into the influencing vari-ables with group model- buidling, and examine the macro- and micro levels of infrastructure.
WEEK 1
- PA G E 12 -
- THE BASICS -
The final week is all about translating lessons learned and discovering new avenues for the benefits of urban cycling. Topics bikenomics and culture are at the forefront of our discussion. This week we’ll concentrate on prepar-ing for the final event presentaions.
- PA G E 3 4 -
WEEK 3
- BEYOND -
In Week 2 we take a step into more practical issues. How do we ap-ply knowledge around urban cycling? Data, user behavior, network design, wayfinding. The impor-tant link to the national railway. Marketing and behavior change cam-paigns as a policy tool.

Ready. Set. Bike.Our goal for the next three weeks is to take you on a journey through a
cycling city. To learn the ins and outs of Amsterdam. And to send you back
home even more confused.
We are excited to have each and every one of you on board for this journey into the unknown. The first ever university course on urban cycling, organised in the leading example for aspiring cycling cities!
We’ve prepared these three weeks in the best pos-sible way we know how. It’s been an arduous task to pick and choose the top-ics to include and those to leave out. After all, we only have three weeks. And we have yet to discover the perfect combination of specific (or maybe more broad?) topics to include in a course about urban cycling.
We are all equals on this playing field. It’s not de-signed as a typical teach-er-student pedagogy. You bring as much expertise from your home city as we do about ours. So we ask you to, together with us, make the most of this ex-citing ride. The keynotes, the readings, assignments, methods for learning, and everything in between: they are only the ingredi-ents of which you have to make your own meal. Feel free to mix in your own in-gredients. Bon appétit, eet smakelijk!
We also invite you to take the opportunity to play with, in and across Amster-dam. Learning by doing and doing by learning. But in the most relaxed way im-aginable. We don’t want to rush you: as cycling, learning is not only about the destination but also on enjoying the ride itself. For each day of the course, readings will help your un-derstanding of the key-notes’ material. With this, we expect you to be well prepared and able to ask the right questions to the leading experts in the field.
Even more, we’ve sug-gested ‘experiences’ for each day, to augment the reading, lectures and discussions. These mini-as-signments are meant to be quick and dirty ways to take that extra step into gaining a deeper knowl-edge about that day’s material. It might be a short YouTube video, a Goog-le search, or observations. Our vision is to keep this course as hands-on as pos-sible. It makes no sense to only talk about cycling within the academic walls of our ivory tower.
And it’s not all about the bike. Of course we encour-

Don’t forget: a cycling city is as much about bikes as it is about trams, cars, buses, metros, and--yes--even walk-ing. So try a different mode every day, talk to people next to you, take it all in.
age to ride your bike every day. But don’t forget: a cy-cling city is as much about bikes as it is about trams, cars, buses, metros, and--yes--even walking. So try a different mode every day, talk to people next to you, take it all in.
One final request: keep an open mind. There are 32 of us, representing at least 16 countries. We all bring a unique set of expertise,
knowledge, experience, questions and background to the table. Let’s take advantage of this excep-tional group of individuals. Let’s learn from each oth-er, exchange knowledge, and go home with a more advanced set of skills, in-telligence around plan-ning for cycling cities and a great social and profes-sional network.
Our hope for each of you
is that by the end of the course, you leave feeling more confused, asking more questions, and eager to learn more. By the end of the course, we hope you look back on the first days when you freely cy-cled through Amsterdam - care-free and enjoying yourself - with a sense of wishfulness. Because now you cycle through the streets with a different lens,
one that automatically examines, questions and analyses. That’s why we’re all here.
Finally, thank you for being here. For stepping out on a limb, taking a risk. Exposing yourself to the world. We promise it’s going to be a fantastic ride.
Kindest regards, Meredith Glaser Marco te Brömmelstroet

-ASSIGNMENTS-
Over a series of observations, groups will break out to explore the Weesperzijde corridor by bike, tram and by foot. Specific intersections along the corridor will be determined to assess during the Amsterdam rush hour. Groups will conduct a variety of tasks (ie, assess volumes, analyse existing data, conduct user interviews, draw desire lines of users, compile user photos, etc). Groups will prepare a comprehensive overview of the case, present their findings, and propose solutions. The final discussion will be with the large group over dinner at De Ysebreker restaurant.

We want to give you the flexbility to write about your experiences, opinions, reflections, and observations.
Once submitted, you will also grade each other’s papers and this will be part of the final grade. We will give you further instructions for this portion of the assignment.
KEY DATES: 30 SEPT / Final paper deadline 2 OCT / Peer review assignment 6 OCT / Peer review assignment deadline
Think about the insights and urban cycling challenges from your home city or another and compare it with your experiences here in the Netherlands. Also, reflect on your individual system dynamics model created on Day 2. The final presentation will occur on the last day of the program when the student groups will present their work (the fieldwork and personal views on urban cycling) in a public meeting, hosted by the City of Amsterdam, in the heart of Amsterdam.
KEY DATES: 29 JULY / 13-15h / Presentation proposal preparation in groups 29 JULY / 17h / Final presentation proposal deadline 05 AUG / 13-17h / Group presentation preparation.

“Cycling is part of the Dutch national habitus. It is neither a conscious lifestyle nor a political statement. It is not associated with a particular social class or region. In the Netherlands, the bicycle is a means of everyday transportation, not just for students, sportsmen or the ecologically-minded, but for everyone.” -Giselinde Kuipers, UvA

* Head out to one of the Saturday markets in the city: Noordermarkt, Nieuwemarkt, Al-bert Cuyp, or the Dappermarkt. Who is there? How did they get there?
* Get to the beach: Bloemendaal, Zandfoort or even the ‘urban beach’ at Roest. * Ride down the Amstel all the way to Ouder Kerk (15km r/t).
* Take a bus to Edam, Marken, Monnikendam (skip the tourist hoards at Volendam).
* Check out Oud West. Eat lunch at De Hallen and find your way to the Osdorp suburbs.

The City of Amsterdam has been working on the redesign of Central Station for the past several years. This summer the underground tunnel linked the north and south side of the station will open. It has been estimated that 3,000 cyclists will use this tunnel every day. Before the final designs are set, the City would like to have some detailed observations made.
The main question remains: who are the users of this main crossing? Where did they come from and where are they going? Our assignment is to gather detailed observa-tions and perspectives of the existing dynamics of this major corridor.
Amsterdam’s a great cycling city, but The Netherlands and Europe has so much to offer. Here’s an opportunity to go see another [cycling] city and compare it to Amsterdam. Within the country, it’s easy to get to Rotterdam, Den Haag, Einhoven, Utrecht/Houten, or Groningen.
A train-ride away is Cologne, London, Hamburg, Brussels, Antwerp, or Paris. And a short flight opens up the continent even more: Copenhagen, Malmo, Berlin, Dublin, Nantes, Vienna, Barcelona, or Budapest.
