Who We Are.
Allow us to introduce ourselves. We're a team of passionate individuals who work towards making cities better places to live. We're not cyclists, we're just people who happen to get around by bike – and we know that increasing the number of bicycle users in any city is an integral part of improving our quality of life. That's why we focus on work centred on bicycles-as-transport, through infrastructure, planning, communications and education.
As a multi-disciplinary consultancy, we offer a diversity of bicycle urbanism-related services. Our team is trained in planning, design and coaching strategies to support client cities, governments and organisations as they seek to become more bicycle-friendly.
We're good at what we do, but even more importantly – we love doing it.
