Bicycle User Experience (BUX)

🧍Citizens - 🧑🔬Researchers - 🏙️City Our educational bicycle infrastructure tours are making new connections! An enriching, inspiring activity for residents and visitors, and an avenue to see research that has made a difference on the Amsterdam streetscape. These twice-weekly excursions are open to anyone to sign up and are a great way for the interested public to get a look inside the process of how leading urban planners are shaping cycling in future Amsterdam. “Plusnetten” of the City of Amsterdam are one strategy that we mention. By planning networks for each mode of transportation in the city, Amsterdam is able to make designated corridors attractive and efficient for designated modes.

📚 BUX Mini Lesson #21: Bringing People To The Center Of Bike Planning 🎓 Objective: share the motivation behind BUX. 🏙️ We use the case of a ""buffered bicycle lane"" in New York City to... 🖼 Illustrate the (paradoxical) presence of both professionalization and disconnect from the human experience within the bicycle planning field. 🚲 We lay out the BUX approach as a response to this. Read the mini lesson here: https://lnkd.in/gBfQ4XEw 😁 Note: since our original posting of this critique in 2018, there has been movement within the bicycle planning field towards a more people-friendly approach. #BUXMiniLessons #UXEducation #LearningCommunity"
