| description | Over the past decade, a cycling boom has echoed in the planning circles, drawing the attention of policy makers, development NGOs, citizens, and scholars. The sustainability of such visions and approaches has been problematized over the past decade. Critical cycling research has scrutinized the uneven effects of the cycling investments and emerging geographies. Making space for experimentation is therefore key to envision alternative mobile futures in the cities. The potential of the conferences to result in policy change relies on their capacity to inspire and persuade influential local actors to form broader coalitions of actors. Conferences are privileged places for the mobilization of emotional elements that are hard to convey in the printed or online documents. The internet and social media have provided pro-cycling activists and planners a rich space through which inspirational images, videos, and narratives of bicycle-driven urban change circulate. |
