Start the Cycle was created in 2014 by two McMaster University Graduate Students, Charles Burke ( PhD) and Justin Hall (MSc) in Transportation Planning. They asked themselves the question: How do we create a new generation of cyclists?
The answer: Provide access. Every person in Canada, young or old, should have access to a bicycle.
"We’re kind of a new breed of academic, which McMaster is trying to
foster. We don’t want to write about what we do and have it sit on page 1440
in a journal. We want to go out in the community and we want to translate what
we do into practice."
