The "randeurive" (pronounced: ran-deu-reave) is a research strategy that very loosely fuses elements from the long-distance cycling sport of rantdonneuring with the Situationist concept of dérive. In randonneuring, cyclists attempt to complete routes of 200km or more in a given time period, stopping in at check points every so often. Like a randonneur the randeurive uses a bicycle in order to engage in long-distance travel, allowing us to get outside of our immediate surroundings and broaden our view of psychogeography and constructed landscapes.I use the randeurive as a research methodology in order to retrace and de-scribe these spaces, as well as the technical objects, people and social relations that fill them.

At present traditional industries, shifting production to China and South-East Asia has become the key to survival, and the only way to promote their competency. Taiwan bicycle industry started to shift production to these areas in early phases since 1989. At that time, it seems that it was the only solution for promoting competency and keeping survival. Ten years lately, nowadays, Taiwan¡¦s enterprises starting self-examination on their competitiveness advantage. This new deliberated mode deserved us to go deep into comprehension for the significance come to. This research refers to the viewpoint of ¡§Synergy of Clustering ¡§, ¡§Innovation¡¨ and ¡§Strategic Alliance¡¨. Recording and reporting the updated worldwide bicycle industries circumstances, the history of Taiwan bicycle industry and the moving process of A-TEAM. Expect this research can be a good reference for A-TEAM strategy implementation. Creating ¡§SCA¡¨ (Sustainable Competitive Advantage), and re-create the miracle of Taiwan Bicycle Industry. Based on this research, in order to keep the root base in Taiwan, A-TAEM used the 3 step strategic to synergy the operations management, products development and marketing for all members to approach the mission and vision of recreating competencies. Endeavor to develop innovated value-added products and just ¡V in ¡V time delivery to global market. Creating a brand new, high value added market. To create a new phase for promote bicycle industry¡¦s competitiveness. By means of this research, in recording and reporting the updated information on global bicycle industry, the past and present of Taiwan¡¦s bicycle industry and A-TEAM moving process. Again, could create the miracle on Taiwan¡¦s bicycle industry. At the meantime, to be a successful benchmarking to other Taiwan industry that had lost its competitiveness.

Winnipeg, Canada received $20.4 million from the three levels of government to augment the city’s active transportation infrastructure. Like many North American cities, Winnipeg is an automobile-focused centre that experienced little funding or development towards active transportation until recently. Winnipeg’s current active transportation system is insufficient, poorly conceived, and fractured. As cities move towards environmentally friendly initiatives, Winnipeg has an opportunity to build comprehensive and safe access to all parts of the city through active transportation. Concentrating on the bicycle as the primary transportation mode, this study examines the current status of Winnipeg’s active transportation network and searches for areas of improvement/development. This study identifies critical areas needing improvement and offers solutions by integrating input from Winnipeg’s cycling community, standards established by government/industry bodies, and successes from other jurisdictions. Key issues include bicycle facilities, safety and education and their integration into an effective and comprehensive bicycle transportation network.

This Creative Project has explored the relationship of bicycling and independent bike trails as a potential land-use alternative for abandoned railroad rights-of-way has a credible, historical basis found in existing bike trail conversion projects. Conversions such as The BurkeGilman Trail near Seattle, Washington; The Illinois Prairie Path near Chicago, Illinois; and The Elroy-Sparta State Trail in western Wisconsin, serve notice that a plausible alternative to railline abandonment exis only with strong public support and effective planning.This study has also examined selection criteria, acquisition problems, development criteria and criteria for post construction evaluation.Additionally, the case study serves to identify a proposed railline abandonment and its potential for conversion to a bike trail. / Department of Landscape Architecture
