83: The War On Cars - Talking with Doug Gordon


Listen Later

This week we releasing a recent conversation between Oliver and Doug Gordon from the popular War on Cars podcast that we did as a Micromobility Membership (TripleM) webinar. Philosophically aligned, Oliver and Doug talk about COVID, urbanism and the intersection of infrastructure and technology. This was a fun conversation.
Specifically they dig into:
- What we’re seeing globally and in NYC in response to the COVID epidemic.
- How much (or not) COVID is an opportunity to further the micromobility agenda, both with local and national level programmes for infrastructure
- Oliver reveals some of the details of the research he’s been doing on modelling mode shift potential for Micromobility
- The impact that Citibike has had on New York
- Where the origins of sneakers came from, and how they gained such notoriety during the 1980 transit strike in New York
- Why bike parking is the next big opportunity for infrastructure builds
- Why micromobility helps in transport deserts that exist, even in places like New York.
- General questions from the audience about ebikes, cargo, electric vehicles and more!
Also, next week Oliver will be hosting a webinar with the team from Helium talking about their new global long range, low-power and low cost wireless network. You might think data connections to micromobility sounds boring but nothing could be further from the truth. How we keep micromobility connected reliably and cheaply is one of the biggest issues still to solve. Helium are one of the most exciting projects out there. It’ll be relevant to investors, hardware people and operators interested in what the bleeding edge is. Come and join us on Tuesday, 4th of August at 4pm Eastern, 1pm Pacific.
