The Public Policy Program Brown Bag Lunch Seminar Series proudly

presents:


"The royal mode of urban transport: Cycling in the Pacific North West

and the Netherlands" with Loek Hesemans
Thursday September 13th, 2007 from 12:00-1:00pm at Harbour Centre Room
3000



Cycling is interwoven in Dutch culture even the royal family rides

bikes.
The Dutch are almost complacent about it, and rarely think about the
advantages of cycling as mode of transport. In the Pacific North West,
cycling is definitely on the rise, both as a form of recreation or

sport
and as a serious mode of transportation, but it remains a marginal

mode.
Maybe Dutch experience can help accelerate its growth.

Loek Hesemans works for the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sports in

the
Netherlands. A study tour in a foreign country is part of the

curriculum
of his Master programme at the Netherlands School of Public

Administration
in The Hague, with which Simon Fraser has an exchange relation. During

his
study tour he is comparing public cycling policy between the

Netherlands
and the Pacific North West.

Best,
