Hi folks, There is going to be a "bicycle urbanism symposium" at the University of Washington in Seattle, USA in June. I just attended a planning meeting, and it sounds like they are very interested in hearing papers that shake up "best practices" in bicycle planning and have a future-oriented outlook.
