Abstract / Bemerkung
Laos is a country of seven million people in Southeast Asia, with its largest
urban centre having a population of just under one million people. At
a time of rising inflation and growing awareness of climate change, this
article investigates how urban residents travel, why people do and do not
cycle in urban Laos, and how cycling is promoted and crucially, by whom.
Drawing on interviews, survey data, and other participant observation, this
paper notes that the number of bikes in Laos is increasing, and cycling for
fitness is becoming more widespread, which can be linked to aspiration and
conspicuous consumption, but that promotion of cycling is driven largely
by outsiders as part of broader attempts to develop Laos according to their
own agendas. This is demonstrated by a European Union campaign which
encouraged people to commute by bike, which was largely unsuccessful in
Laos.
