Mobility, place and cycling

Thinking, exploring and writing about the ways we relate to and manage space, place, movement in society- and how these relate to wider social and ecological issues- has been a big part of the 'work' and 'play' of my life for many years. The following projects, publications and other outputs are some that I have been involved in over the past decade, often with a specific focus on active forms of mobility such as walking and cycling.
