Stan
Pepels

With a passion for sustainable urban development and cycling mobility, Stan (2000) pursued his studies in Spatial Planning and Landscape Architecture at Wageningen University, followed by a Master's in Urban Environmental Management.

During a semester in Porto, he discovered the vast differences in cycling culture and infrastructure compared to the Netherlands. This raised a key question for him: how can more people in cities like Porto be encouraged to cycle? He firmly believes that cycling not only contributes to physical and mental wellbeing but also has a significant impact on the climate and economy. His interest led him to an internship at BYCS, an NGO that promotes cycling worldwide, where he worked as an active mobility intern on projects aimed at increasing bicycle use. Now, he continues this passion at 3PM, where he supports the team in addressing mobility challenges, with a specific focus on the role of cycling.

“Cycling is so much more than a means of transport. It is a key to a healthier, cleaner, and more social city. I look forward to contributing my knowledge and experience to sustainable mobility solutions at 3PM.”
