What does cycling for the ages mean to you?

Cycling for the ages to me means that people no matter what age they are, have the opportunity to cycle in a safe environment in their city.

How will the city of the future look like taking into consideration the gaps in the developing and developed world?

The city of the future will continue to have a combination of mass transit, powered by something other than fossil fuels and transit powered by and for the individual, whether that is cycling, scooting or walking.

What do you expect from Velo-city 2019 Dublin?

I expect to hear new ideas that will encourage the individual to cycle and encourage city governments to enable more cycling within their cities.

Anne Graham is a speaker in the fourth plenary session of Velo-city 2019 Dublin, entitled “Infrastructure - from the City to the Greenways” to take place on Thursday, June 27th 2019 at 9.00-10.00.
