BUILDING THE CYCLING CITY
Keynote presentation and community panel
Around the world, countries marvel at Dutch cycling culture and infrastructure while an insidious “that would never work here” attitude prevents real change from happening. But the Dutch overcame many of the same challenges as other car-clogged cities like Seattle, and their story is an important model for moving us toward a more human-scale, bike-friendly future.
Join Melissa and Chris Bruntlett for a fun, visual, and interactive discussion. They’ll share the triumphs and challenges of the Dutch cycling story, show how some of the ideas are already being adopted in global cities, and draw out concrete lessons for Seattle to follow their lead.
Following the Bruntletts’ inspiring, photo-rich presentation of what other cities are doing, a lively, solution-focused panel will bring the ideas home to Seattle and ask, “What will it really take to get there?”
Join us Friday, October 5th, 5:00-7:00 pm at the main event space in Impact Hub Seattle. We’ll have beer, wine, substantive appetizers, and time for informal socializing.
