Cycling keeps people moving during the corona crisis and many cities around the world quickly open up more streets and public space for cyclists and pedestrians. These short term mobility experiments can demonstrate the benefits of bicycling mobility, for instance by enabling people to commute by bike. It is really a great opportunity to develop these bicycle networks into permanent safe, direct and attractive bicycle networks for a sustainable, healthy and fun future! This article is about how the Dutch Cycling Embassy and Bike-minded work with cities around the world to make this happen. #cycling #Dutchcyling

The connected future of mobility

The connected future of mobility

On Februari 14th Maurits Lopes Cardozo participated at the MaaS Summit -Mobility as a Service- at the Connekt & Dutch Cycling Embassy headquarters in Delft. Kaj Pyyhtiä, Chief Customer Experience Officer of MaaS Global revealed the philosophy of the Finnish startup Whim and the announcement that the first MaaS will start operation this year in the Netherlands -Amsterdam-. Bikeminded contributed to de discussion about the role of the bicycle in MaaS as a reaction to the presentations of Vialis (Willem Hartman) en Swapfiets (Steven Uitentuis). The bicycle will play a key role in MaaS systems in the Netherlands. The challenge is how to integrate the bicycle in the connected system of mobility providers. I predict we will need more share bikes in the Netherlands in the near future to answer to the big demand for bicycles by MaaS operators and users. Interesting developments!
