Cycling@Breakfast-time - working with the unwilling (22nd Oct 2020)

Much is said and written about the more go-ahead transport authorities and their work to promote and facilitate cycling. But what of the many others who are not showing the same zeal? How well are they understood and, perhaps more important, how can the cycling community engage positively and productively with them?

Two authoritative speakers from distinct backgrounds and, indeed, distinct hemispheres, offered their insights in a lively and engaging discussion. Alex Macmillan (University of Otago, New Zealand) presented a public-health lens on transport and discussed effective strategies for overcoming political barriers to change at local-government level. Adam Tranter (Fusion Media) continued the discussion by sharing his experiences of working with stakeholders in his role as Coventry's Bicycle Mayor.
