The first hands-on Python session for #BikeNetKit, today at #D3A, went well! Our 15 min tutorial for GrowBikeNet is also available online - try it out here: https://github.com/BikeNetKit/tutorials/blob/main/python/tutorial01/installation.pdf Here is how our software would fix Nyborg's bike network:

We had a full room with a very diverse crowd at today's #D3A session on human-centric mobility! The invited talk by Carlos M. Lima Azevedo on Emotional Cities was a nice bridge between the gender mobility and cycling parts.

At #D3A, come to Salon 25 at 11:00 for Data Science of Human-centric Mobility! 🚶 🚲 🚋 https://d3aconference.dk/data-science-of-human-centric-mobility/
