ABOUT
Bicycle User Experience (BUX) helps you to rethink bike planning: study people and fit the bicycle into their lives. We are based in the Netherlands and internationally-oriented with a global network of collaborators, learners, and clients.
What we do
BUX provides courses and trainings to help urban mobility professionals make usable cycling infrastructure and consulting to organizations looking to transform their approach to street design. We maintain the User-Centered Cycling Methods toolkit, and support a global network of professionals and activists working on making people-centered design for cycling a reality.
Team
Trey helps professionals and organizations think about end users of the street and how to incorporate people's experiences into the planning and design process. His interdisciplinary background includes work as a project manager for the localization of streetmix.net, and operations and urban design work with a startup, BID, city agency, and environmental justice nonprofit in New York City. Next to BUX, he also does research and manages online courses with the Urban Cycling Institute.
