About

I am interested in how our thinking about mobility futures is structured through underlying narratives. And I aim to explore what happens if you change this. This work you can find and join via https://thelabofthought.co. In my work, cycling plays a pivotal role as a lens to study these narratives and to find new ones. Together with my colleagues we aim to 'bring knowledge about cycling from research to practice and back'.
