More About Kerryn Gosbell:
Cycling Dutch Style - Transport for a better future
– Lessons from The Netherlands
In May this year local mum & active transport advocate Kerryn Gosbell travelled with her family to participate in a cycle study tour of The Netherlands.
Together with 30 other Australians they cycled over 500kms around The Netherlands experiencing first hand the cycling culture & infrastructure. Along the way they met transport planners, cycle advocates, local government staff and lots of everyday people.
Kerryn will outline what she learnt from the experience including how infrastructure, social norms, perceived safety and joy are all keys to better transport choices. She will also discuss what Australia might learn from the Dutch in order to move toward a healthier and sustainable transport future.
