Professor Alistair Woodward is Head of the School of Population Health at the University of Auckland. He is interested in opportunities to re-shape urban transport systems to reduce pollution, increase energy efficiency and improve health. The bicycle appears to have much in its favour, so with colleagues, he is carrying out research into the health risks and benefits of cycling, trends in cycling and reasons for the large changes that have occurred, the trip to work, and public attitudes towards the urban cyclist.
