Project Introduction
In 2019, the Dutch Cycling Embassy and experts Stefan Bendiks (Artgineering) and Bas Govers (Goudappel) travelled to Montreuil, France for a ThinkBike Workshop.
Situated in the eastern suburbs of Paris, Montreuil is home to 110,000 residents. Its density of 12,000 people per square kilometer makes it the fourth most populous suburb in Paris.
The workshop primarily focused on hardware improvements, complemented by a public screening of the enlightening film “Why We Cycle”, presentations and a panel discussion led by the Dutch experts. These additional events aimed to foster community involvement in the development of cycling infrastructure.
We had the opportunity to speak with Stefan Bendiks to delve deeper into how the ThinkBike Workshop paved the way for the creation of a Dutch-inspired cycle path in Montreuil.
