Would love to see a system that allows a narrow 22kg/49lb all-weather velomobile (pedal car) to travel from residence to intercity bus or train station on a protected cycle network. Then roll onboard an intercity bus like a land ferry for an extra fee.

If Canadian automakers refuse to build small practical vehicles for use in cities with low residential area speed limits, remove ridiculous import taxes on suitable vehicles from China.
Think big in terms of building European-type all-weather cycling networks like Denmark, Germany, Finland, etc.

I joined a company with an AI mandate. I was daunted at first, but I've saved hours by solving a big, boring problem.

In @bloomberg.com, I argued that traffic lights are a street safety solution that’s hiding in plain sight
At minimal cost, cities can adjust them to slow speeders, protect pedestrians, and avoid dangerous turns.
Pushback from drivers is rare; they may not even notice.

I spent 2 nights in a 2-story, 100-square-foot tiny home in Germany. It was much smaller than any I've seen in the US.
