Dear All,
I'm pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 4th Cycling and Society Symposium, to be held at the CTC offices in
Guildford, 7th September 2007.
The precise programme is currently being finalised, but will include the following papers:
* Ian Walker, 'Formal and informal communication between cyclists and drivers'
* Jutta Deffner, 'What Moves Us? How Individual Attitudes and Urban Surroundings Influence Cycling'
* John Parkin & Jane Hunter, 'On the need to include effort in mode and route choice modelling for cycling'
* John Parkin, 'Policy implications of results from an aggregate model of cycle use in the UK'
* David Patton, 'The Ministry of Transport responds to cycling road accidents in interwar Britain'
* Jake Voelcker, 'A Critical Review of the Legal Penalties for Drivers Who Kill Cyclists or Pedestrians'
* Peter Cox, 'Activism and Market Innovation: changing patterns in the cycle trade'
* Adam Thorpe & Lorraine Gamman, 'Bike bombs revisited'
* Katrina Brown, Vicki White, Claudia Cartner & Alister Scott, 'Disturbing the geographies of recreation: Employing the
‘ride-along’ to investigate how mountain bikers perform and re-work rural space'
In addition, there will be a panel discussion on 'Cycling research and cycling futures', exploring the scope for bringing together research,
policy and campaigning objectives and priorities.
Finally, the symposium will include the launch of the new 'Cycling and Society' collection edited by Dave Horton, Paul Rosen & Peter Cox, and
published by Ashgate. Copies of the book will be available at the symposium, fresh off the presses.
Exact timings for the event will be provided closer to the date, but the start time will be 9.45 for the conference opening (9.15 for coffee and
registration), and then a 5.30 finish. Guildford is easily accessible by rail and road from London and many others parts of the UK. The CTC HQ is
a 10-15 minute cycle ride or 40-50 minute walk from Guildford Station.
Please note that space is limited, so it is recommended that you register early, by initially sending an email to [log in to unmask] Whilst the symposium is being generously supported by the CTC, unfortunately it
is necessary to include a very small registration fee. This is £15 for professional researchers, policymakers and campaigners, and £5 for
volunteers, students or others on a low income. Therefore, at the same time as emailing, please send a cheque for the relevant amount, made
payable to 'CTC', to Paul Rosen, Stockholm Environment Institute, University of York, Heslington, York, YO10 5DD. The final programme,
directions to the CTC and accommodation information will be sent out on receipt of your cheque. In the event that we run out of space, your
cheque will be returned. Please don't worry if you don't hear immediately, as the holiday period may delay things by up to a week
during August.
Best wishes,
Paul Rosen
