Video, Article by @UAPVirginiaTech's Ralph Buehler on Cycling Research

UAP Assistant Professor Ralph Buehler recently spoke at the CyCity conference in Stockholm, Sweden on cycle planning in an international context, including policy development and trends.  The video is embedded below and Dr. Buehler's remarks begin at about the 40 minute point of the recording.

The panel was moderated by Dr. Pelle Envall and also included a presentation by Jörg Thiemann-Linden on cycle infrastructure design: state of the art in Europe and its role in increasing cycling. 



Dr. Buehler's research also was featured in a recent Atlantic Cities article, entitled "5 Reasons Germans Ride 5 Times More Mass Transit Than Americans." The story was based on a 2012 article by Dr. Buehler and Dr. John Pucher, “Demand for Public Transport in Germany and the USA: An Analysis of Rider Characteristics,” Transport Reviews, Vol. 32, No. 5, pp. 541-567.

He and Dr. Pucher are co-editors of the forthcoming book, City Cycling.  Pre-order your copy of the book at this link.
