Evidence to prioritise pop-up cycleways

Talk on prioritising pop-up cycleways during the pandemic

I gave a talk at the ‘Ideas with Beers’ seminar series on evidence to prioritise pop-up cycleways.

Context

During COVID-19, there was urgent need for evidence to support rapid deployment of cycling infrastructure. The talk covered:

• Methods for identifying priority routes
• Using open data for quick analysis
• Case studies from the UK

Key message

Pop-up cycleways can be implemented quickly and cheaply using evidence-based approaches. The Propensity to Cycle Tool methodology was adapted to support this work.

This led to the development of tools used by local authorities across the UK.
