-CONTENT-
Welcome to Amsterdam.
The land of bikes. How did
it all begin? We’ll look at
the historical and political
context of cycling in The
Netherlands, delve right
into the influencing vari-
ables with group model-
buidling, and examine
the macro- and micro
levels of infrastructure.
WEEK 1
-PAGE 12-
- THE BASICS -
The final week is all about
translating lessons learned
and discovering new
avenues for the benefits
of urban cycling. Topics
bikenomics and culture
are at the forefront of our
discussion. This week we’ll
concentrate on prepar-
ing for the final event
presentaions.
-PAGE 34-
WEEK 3
- BEYOND -
In Week 2 we take a
step into more practical
issues. How do we ap-
ply knowledge around
urban cycling? Data, user
behavior, network design,
wayfinding. The impor-
tant link to the national
railway. Marketing and
behavior change cam-
paigns as a policy tool.

Ready. Set. Bike.
Our goal for the next three weeks is
to take you on a journey through a
cycling city. To learn the ins and outs
of Amsterdam. And to send you back
home even more confused.
We are excited to have
each and every one of you
on board for this journey
into the unknown. The first
ever university course on
urban cycling, organised
in the leading example for
aspiring cycling cities!
We’ve prepared these
three weeks in the best pos-
sible way we know how. It’s
been an arduous task to
pick and choose the top-
ics to include and those to
leave out. After all, we only
have three weeks. And we
have yet to discover the
perfect combination of
specific (or maybe more
broad?) topics to include
in a course about urban
cycling.
We are all equals on this
playing field. It’s not de-
signed as a typical teach-
er-student pedagogy. You
bring as much expertise
from your home city as we
do about ours. So we ask
you to, together with us,
make the most of this ex-
citing ride. The keynotes,
the readings, assignments,
methods for learning, and
everything in between:
they are only the ingredi-
ents of which you have to
make your own meal. Feel
free to mix in your own in-
gredients. Bon appétit, eet
smakelijk!
We also invite you to take
the opportunity to play
with, in and across Amster-
dam. Learning by doing
and doing by learning. But
in the most relaxed way im-
aginable. We don’t want
to rush you: as cycling,
learning is not only about
the destination but also on
enjoying the ride itself. For
each day of the course,
readings will help your un-
derstanding of the key-
notes’ material. With this,
we expect you to be well
prepared and able to ask
the right questions to the
leading experts in the field.
Even more, we’ve sug-
gested ‘experiences’ for
each day, to augment
the reading, lectures and
discussions. These mini-as-
signments are meant to
be quick and dirty ways
to take that extra step into
gaining a deeper knowl-
edge about that day’s
material. It might be a short
YouTube video, a Goog-
le search, or observations.
Our vision is to keep this
course as hands-on as pos-
sible. It makes no sense to
only talk about cycling
within the academic walls
of our ivory tower.
And it’s not all about the
bike. Of course we encour-

Don’t forget: a cycling city is as much about bikes as it is
about trams, cars, buses, metros, and--yes--even walk-
ing. So try a different mode every day, talk to people
next to you, take it all in.
age to ride your bike every
day. But don’t forget: a cy-
cling city is as much about
bikes as it is about trams,
cars, buses, metros, and--
yes--even walking. So try a
different mode every day,
talk to people next to you,
take it all in.
One final request: keep an
open mind. There are 32
of us, representing at least
16 countries. We all bring
a unique set of expertise,
knowledge, experience,
questions and background
to the table. Let’s take
advantage of this excep-
tional group of individuals.
Let’s learn from each oth-
er, exchange knowledge,
and go home with a more
advanced set of skills, in-
telligence around plan-
ning for cycling cities and
a great social and profes-
sional network.
Our hope for each of you
is that by the end of the
course, you leave feeling
more confused, asking
more questions, and eager
to learn more. By the end
of the course, we hope
you look back on the first
days when you freely cy-
cled through Amsterdam
- care-free and enjoying
yourself - with a sense of
wishfulness. Because now
you cycle through the
streets with a different lens,
one that automatically
examines, questions and
analyses. That’s why we’re
all here.
Finally, thank you for being
here. For stepping out on a
limb, taking a risk. Exposing
yourself to the world. We
promise it’s going to be a
fantastic ride.
Kindest regards,

-ASSIGNMENTS-
Over a series of observations, groups will break out to explore the Weesperzijde corridor by bike, tram and by foot. Specific
intersections along the corridor will be determined to assess during the Amsterdam rush hour. Groups will conduct a variety
of tasks (ie, assess volumes, analyse existing data, conduct user interviews, draw desire lines of users, compile user photos,
etc). Groups will prepare a comprehensive overview of the case, present their findings, and propose solutions. The final
discussion will be with the large group over dinner at De Ysebreker restaurant.

“Cycling is part of the Dutch national habitus. It is neither a
conscious lifestyle nor a political statement. It is not associated
with a particular social class or region. In the Netherlands, the
bicycle is a means of everyday transportation, not just for
students, sportsmen or the ecologically-minded, but for
everyone.” -Giselinde Kuipers, UvA

“The bicycle makes sense in cities. It’s an affordable, efficient method of
transportation. It’s green, it’s healthy – but those are tag-along benefits
and miss the point. People want to get from A to B in the quickest way
possible. - Mikael Colville-Andersen, CEO Copenhagenize Design Co.

The City of Amsterdam has been working on the redesign of Central Station for the past
several years. This summer the underground tunnel linked the north and south side of the
station will open. It has been estimated that 3,000 cyclists will use this tunnel every day.
Before the final designs are set, the City would like to have some detailed observations
made.
The main question remains: who are the users of this main crossing? Where did they
come from and where are they going? Our assignment is to gather detailed observa-
tions and perspectives of the existing dynamics of this major corridor.
Amsterdam’s a great cycling city, but The Netherlands and Europe has so much to offer.
Here’s an opportunity to go see another [cycling] city and compare it to Amsterdam.
Within the country, it’s easy to get to Rotterdam, Den Haag, Einhoven, Utrecht/Houten,
or Groningen.
A train-ride away is Cologne, London, Hamburg, Brussels, Antwerp, or Paris. And a short
flight opens up the continent even more: Copenhagen, Malmo, Berlin, Dublin, Nantes,
Vienna, Barcelona, or Budapest.

DTV Consultants is an ambitious and innovative research and consultancy in the
field of traffic and mobility. We are also your practical trainer for the traffic en-
gineering field. For more than twenty-five years we’ve worked hard for a grow-
ing clientele that includes public and private parties in the Netherlands and
abroad. With over fifty enthusiastic employees we are big enough to answer all
traffic-related questions and small enough for a personal approach and cus-
tomized advice.

To become an international organization of experts, which plays a leading role
in realizing sustainable mobility.
