John Gade
Train and bike - a last mile solution
I’m John Gade, and I’m an everyday commuter cyclist and I’m also a surgeon of gastroenterological surgery, and no traditional expert. Occasionally I bring my bike with the train, and I’m here to tell you how the bicycle and public transport can work together to benefit both. The idea is that the possibility of bringing the bike with the train increases the range of the bike as well as the accessibility of the train. Central is my proposal of vertical, compact bicycle rack, that takes up much less space than the traditional.

The city of Pontevedra in Galicia, northern Spain, has reversed the typical mobility hierarchy to put pedestrians first and vehicles last. Since 1999, Pontevedra has substantially reduced traffic levels, opened up its public spaces for everyday social uses and imposed strict environmental protection guidelines. The air is clean, there is very little noise pollution and, for most of the day, it's possible to walk freely without the worry of drivers acting as if they own the streets.

„garantiert mobil!“ - "mobility guaranteed!" (integrated traffic concept Odenwald)
Based on an early interest in urban and transport planning, I have dealt with a variety of topics around analysing and shaping mobility during my studies and career. Over time, my interests have shifted and widened from the technical and operational aspects of public transport management to mobility in its various meanings for society. Nevertheless, most of my work so far has kept some link to the public transport sector in its different forms (from international rail to community buses). In my work, both as researcher and consultant, I furthermore aim to apply research findings to the present situation and make them useful for everyday life.
