P.s. here at Brookes I deliver a one hour session on 'planning for cycling'
as part of MSc Transport Planning. Hardly the time to do the subject justice
but nonetheless... Also encouraging students to do dissertations on cycling.
Graham Smith in Urban Design also approaches from a street design/layout
point of view - why Urban Design/Planning/Architecture are split is another
debate!

I forgot that we can't send attachments, and tried to send the syllabus of
Alon's recent course on cycling. If anyone's interested in seeing it
(basically an intensive 4 week course that approaches cycling via an
emphasis on local bike politics, and cycling's political relevance), I (or
Alon?!) can forward it to them individually.
