- Here's my on-bike interview with Mark Wagenbuur @BicycleDutch and Clarence Eckerson, Jr. @StreetfilmsCommunity during the Velo-city Conference in Ghent, Belgium. Between them, they have produced an impressive catalog of well over 2,000 influential active transportation, safe streets, and inviting public space films that are encouraging city leaders and advocates alike to take action in addition to inspiring a whole new generation of advocacy content creators across multiple innovative platforms.

Background:
Hi Everyone! My name is John Simmerman, and I’m a health promotion and public health professional with over 30 years of experience. Over the years, my area of concentration has evolved into a specialization in how the built environment influences human behavior related to active living and especially active mobility.
Since 2010, I've been exploring, documenting, and profiling established, emerging, and aspiring Active Towns wherever they might be while striving to produce high-quality multimedia content to help inspire the creation of more safe and inviting, environments that promote a "Culture of Activity" for "All Ages & Abilities."
The Active Towns Channel features my original video content and reflections, including a selection of podcast episodes and short films profiling the positive and inspiring efforts happening around the world as I am able to experience and document them.
Thanks once again for tuning in! I hope you find this content helpful and insightful.

Good to see all the people on bikes and bike parking everywhere. Really a nice city to get around on bike.
Yes indeed! 😀
Love Ghent, makes me want to go back and visit straight away 💚🚲
Yeah, they had a lot of cool stuff happening there. I look forward to seeing where they in a 3-5 years… the post Velo-city impact
Mark makes great content.
He does indeed! 😀
@@ActiveTowns Thank you! Both!
Great video!
I really like (the colour of) those bikes.
Thanks! Yes, snazzy! 🙌
Well, that was different. Nice one John. Enjoy!
Thanks! 😀
Great video! Who are the younger content creators you refer to in this video?
Thanks! I’ve profiled a few of them here on the Channel, including Sam Balto who we mentioned, Oh The Urbanity, Michael Pasternock with Strong Towns, and Mr Barricade just to name a few
Anyone younger than us! LOL! But I enjoy Oh, The Urbanity and Everyday Engineering among others!
That was fun hahaha you guys have to cycle more together ;p
Thanks! Yeah, it was really special to all three of us in the same place at the same time… and to be honest I had been wanting to do this very video for some time now.
Hey if someone will pay us to all be in the same spot, I think all three of us would highly endorse!
@@StreetfilmsCommunity Ik heb nog wel een € 🤣🤣
We used to call BSR restaurant road when I was growing up in Austin.
Yes! They still called it that when we lived next door to Shady Grove… our condo lanai looked out that way and we’d open up the door to listen to the live music on Thursday nights. Ah, those were the days. Although I do much prefer riding and crossing on the current configuration, it was never fun being nearly killed on BSR when it was a highway 🤣
