Welcome to a completely different format for this month’s Squeaky Wheel Podcast.

At the Velo-city conference 2025 in Gdansk, Poland, held from 10th-13th June 2025, Phil recorded a “vox pops”. He asked the same four questions in the same order to seven different conference presenters, who came from a wide range of locations around the world.

Unfortunately, the sound quality of the recording of one of the guests was too poor to use, so you will only see six guests below. Apologies to Murat Suyabatmaz, Co-founder and Director of the Turkish Cyclists Association – hopefully we can chat at a future Velo-city!

Our guests in order of appearance are:

Aangi Shah
Senior Associate, Institute of Transportation and Development Policy, Mumbai, India

Amanda Ngabirano
Chairperson, The National Physical Planning Board, Kampala, Uganda

Chris Bruntlett
International Relations Manager – Dutch Cycling Embassy, Utrecht, Netherlands

Karen Vancluysen
Secretary General, Polis (Cities and Regions for Transport Innovation), Brussels, Belgium.

Philippe Crist
Senior Advisor at the International Transport Forum (ITF) and Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), but emphasising that he was speaking in a personal capacity. From Paris, France via Nashville Tennessee.

Elanor McMahon
Former cabinet minister, CEO & Founder of Share the Road, Ontario, Canada.

The four questions asked for their personal perspectives on what the scene was like in their home city- the biggest recent wins, main challenges and their hopes for the future.

You’ll hear a lot of vision, passion and a unique global snapshot.

Enjoy!
