Tales from Taipei: exploring the evolution of cycling

This month Justin Spinney reflects on his visit to the Velo-City Global 2016 Conference, Taipei. Recently I enlarged my carbon footprint further (but all that cycling makes up for it, right?) by attending Velo-City Global in Taipei. As you’d expect from a cycling conference, there were many success stories from around the world reporting ‘best practice’… [Read More]

The ‘Teardrop’ Explodes?*

In an earlier blog we wrote about how researchers on the cycle BOOM team would need to recognise their positionality in relation to both the research setting and our research participants.

A velo-mobile future for all without developing ‘affective capacities’

A velo-mobile future for all without developing ‘affective capacities’

Back in early November 2014 I was given the opportunity to present a paper at the 10th Anniversary Cosmobilities Conference ‘Networked Urban Mobilities’. I took part in an interesting session ‘Imaginaries of Velomobility’ which included talks broadly oriented around exploring the ‘cultures of cycling’ in different social and geographical contexts and how these might evolve…. [Read More]
