Hi Daniel,
The MA in Sustainable Urbanism at the Prince’s Foundation has had a number of keen cyclists who have done research and dissertations on the subject so far though the entry requirements might be daunting for your friend: http://www.princes-foundation.org/what-we-do/projects/educate/current-programmes/building-skill-sustainable-urbanism (disclosure: I run the course).
Otherwise, what about the Transport Studies Unit’s new Master’s programme at Oxford:

Cheers,

Subject: Masters study opportunities - Urban planning for cycling?
Hi all,
I have a friend who is an avid cyclist and is exploring the possibility of doing some sort of urban planning Masters qualification, using cycling infrastructure as the main focus point of the academic research.
Does anyone have recommendations on which university in Europe, perhaps one in Amsterdam or in Holland (or elsewhere) that has such courses and perhaps also have opportunities for scholarships and/or internships.
My friend currently has a Bachelors of Arts degree majoring in English. Hopefully the requirements for entering a program in Europe related to Urban Planning does not require a drastic shift such as the need for additional study in order to gain acceptance to a program.
Your comments/pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Daniel Carruthers
