In this special message, Editor in Chief Thomas Jérémie Hayden Lefebvre outlines the priorities for the year ahead and invites organisations, researchers, students, and practitioners to contribute to the Green Mobility Magazine in 2026. With European transport policy entering a decisive phase of implementation and review, the episode sets out why clear and credible voices will be essential to the wider mobility and sustainable transport conversation in the coming year. Listeners based in Brussels are also welcome to join the Green Mobility Magazine drinks reception on the sixteenth of December at Place du Luxembourg.

In the fifth episode of Policy Driven, co-hosts Tom and Mark are joined by Laurianne Krid, the new Chief Executive Officer of the European Cyclists’ Federation. Laurianne reflects on her fifteen-year journey through European mobility, from her early work across international organisations and her leadership at FIA Region I to her decision to take the helm at ECF. The discussion examines cycling’s rapid rise in the policy debate, the significance of the European Cycling Declaration and the momentum shown in the Commission’s first progress report. Against the backdrop of growing investment, rising ridership and renewed interest in active mobility, the episode considers what Europe must do to unlock cycling’s full potential.

Data is becoming a central issue in the future of cycling and micro-mobility. In this second short webinar, Green Mobility Magazine’s Editor Thomas Jérémie Hayden-Lefebvre joins Giles Bailey and Raphael Cavalcanti to discuss why reliable data matters, how cities can use it, and what challenges remain in measuring cycling and wider micro-mobility activity.

This 15 minute conversation explores:
• Why it is still difficult to know how many people are cycling
• Key metrics cities rely on for planning and investment
• Gaps in data for micro-mobility systems
• The role of new technologies in improving data quality

These webinars accompany the forthcoming book Can Cycling and Micro-Mobility Deliver a Modern and Sustainable City? by mobility expert Giles Bailey, published by Ibex Publishing and supported by Green Mobility Magazine. The book examines how cycling, e-bikes, cargo bikes and shared micro-mobility can support more liveable, resilient and sustainable cities.
