Experiences and reflections: cycling in Brasilia during the pandemic

Hello, my name is Carla Costa and I am an architect and urban planner from Brasilia, Brazil, who is passionate about cities. I do believe that cycling is the best way to get to know a city and normally that is what I do when I first arrive in a new one. I have been collecting cycling experiences and that is why I wanted to start to collaborate with BUX and share a Latin American perspective. I remember when it all started in March last year when I believed this pandemic would

We also got input

Cycling infrastructure in Groningen, Netherlands: taking the smart route to Zernike Campus - Part 2

Shortly after that, you would arrive at the Spilsulizen canal, where you cross traffic twice going their respective direction. Crossing the canal is quite nice, giving you a break from the built-up environment and giving you a sight of water; I stopped here to take a look at the houseboats dreaming of what life would look like living on one. Still, at this point, I have not since any signs for the Zernike campus; I need to stop and look at my phone a couple of times to follow
