ABSTRACT

Current mobilities research tends to focus on the omnipotent practice of car-driving (and more recently aeromobility) while ‘alternative ways of moving’ are devoted less attention. This chapter highlights the recent ‘velomobilities’ turn and the application of mobilities thinking to studies on cycling. Through reflections on my own practice as a researcher, I demonstrate how mobilities thinking has permeated my own research on walking and cycling and I highlight the opportunities and implications for urban planning, design, and architecture as mobilities thinking becomes materialized.
