Symposium on Future of Bicycles in Cities

Urban planning experts at the University of Washington have invited experts from around the world for a symposium to talk about better integrating bicycles into our city streets.

Experts will see a special presentation on cargo bikes and a simulation about how these types of bicycles can be vital following a disaster.

“People with cargo bikes can probably go places where motorized vehicles can not go in the case of a disaster,” says Miller. “A group here in Seattle is going to set out on a four hour test where they will go around to various stations and do things that they would be doing in a disaster situation.”
