Utrecht Study Visit from Atlanta Mayor’s Office

On June 4th, 2025, the Dutch Cycling Embassy hosted a small delegation from Atlanta, Georgia, including representations from the Mayor’s Office, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Better Atlanta Transit. This half-day session was part of a larger study visit of the Netherlands and France. To kick off proceedings, International Relations Manager Chris Bruntlett provided an overview of cycling in the Netherlands, the various quantitative and qualitative benefits of building a cycling city, and specific examples of global cities attempting to transfer these policies and ideas to their context. Following that presentation, a cycling tour was led by Chris, who guided the group around Centraal station’s bike parking facility, the Catherijnesingel, and the world’s busiest cycling lane along the Vredenburg. It was a pleasure to host the group and to engage in their questions. We hope they had an inspiring end to their trip!
