Conference Topics

​

The headline for the conference is Leveraging Recreational Cycling Enthusiasm for Safer Streets.

​

This year’s program brings together new research and practical insights on cycling safety from across the world. The topics include:

​

• Recreational cycling perspectives – regional approaches to recreational cycling to safe infrastructure pipeline

• Behavior and human factors – how perceptions, attitudes, skills, and compliance shape safety outcomes across user types.

• Accident data and risk analysis – from under-reporting and near misses to single-bicycle crashes and long-term health impacts.

• Infrastructure – evaluating bicycle streets, junctions, and urban design for safer cycling.

• Micromobility – patterns, risks, and policy implications of e-scooters and other new modes and new users.

• Protective gear and health – helmets, garments, and the balance between safety measures and cycling promotion.

• Simulation and methods – innovative tools, from VR and simulators to advanced modelling, that open new research possibilities.

• Other topics – we consider and accept topics across the spectrum of cycling or micromobility safety. 

​​

​​We look forward to your contributions and to welcoming you to Knoxville, Tennessee, from November 3–5, 2026 (with pre-events on November 1-2)!
