Here we go…..I’m really looking forward to this 2023 edition of the University of Oregon’s study abroad class on “Redesigning Cities for People (on bike)” where we spend a month basing ourselves in some truly fantastic cycling cities – Copenhagen, Malmö, Nijmegen, Amsterdam, and Utrecht. Nineteen undergraduate and graduate students from multiple US universities will join me as we learn from local experts, experience the feeling of belonging while on a bike, observe and investigate why and how things seem to work, and ponder what lessons can be brought home and how to accelerate their implementation. Joining our group will be three Oregon-based transportation professionals as our 2023 Scan Design Foundation Fellows.  The Scan Design Foundation has generously helped support each of our students with scholarships and also helped bring these three professionals along to learn side-by-side with students.  The professionals will share some of their professional experience with students, as well as receive a heavy dose of pushiness from students on why they aren’t doing more!

Be sure to follow everyone’s adventures on this unique experience from their own blogs – just look at the post on Class Blog of Blogs and explore from there!
