Why do about twice as many men cycle as women in North America? According to Dr. Kay Teschke—a retired UBC professor who's spent her career researching bike safety—it comes down to one completely rational fear.

This throwback episode of our podcast, Bike Sense, digs into what the research says about cycling safety, and a lot of it cuts against common assumptions. Helmets, for instance, only help after a crash has already happened—they don't stop one from occurring.

So what does prevent crashes? Physically separated bike infrastructure, which Dr. Teschke's research found is roughly 10 times safer than riding in traffic.

At the upcoming AT Summit in Victoria, our session programming is organized into three tracks. Track 1: Community & Society asks a simple question—who is active transportation actually for?

Eight sessions across Days 2 and 3 of the conference including the history and lessons of the Galloping Goose, the case for pedestrian streets in every neighbourhood, and what an aging population means for how we plan.

Full program and registration at the link in our bio. We'd love to see you there.

Three themes. 30 sessions. One Summit.

The 2026 Active Transportation Summit program is organized around three themes, and together they trace the arc of this work — from why it matters, to how it gets approved, to how it gets built.

Community & Society looks at how active transportation strengthens communities, improves access and creates healthier places to live.

Policy & Strategy is about turning ambitious goals into policies, plans and projects that deliver real change.

Design, Systems & Networks covers the craft: safer, more comfortable, better-connected networks.

Swipe through for a preview of each theme, then take a look at the full program.
