Lessons from Davis - next Thursday's Bike Lunch and Learn

[Mr. Landia]

Join us for a talk by one of AROW's founding members -

Davis, CA: Bicycle stardom and recovery from post-Platinum Blues

Presented by Ted Buehler

The town of Davis, California has a complex story of successes and failures in its 50 years of efforts to build a city for bicycles, from a bicycle paradise in the 1970s to a fading star in the 2000s, to a current resurgence in bicycling and advocacy.

Ted will describe the history and analyze how advocacy, policy, politics and engineering interacted to shape successes and failures over time.

Ted wrote his master’s thesis on the history of bicycle advocacy in Davis in 2007 and was the founder of the advocacy group "Davis Bicycles!" A summary of his thesis is available at this link.   He is currently a volunteer with BikeLoudPDX.
