Life Cycles: Bikes, Cars, Cities & Human-centered Transport with West Midlands Cycling & Walking Commissioner Adam Tranter

The relationship between humans, bikes, cars and streets is polarizing, but it shouldn’t be. Humans are the original autonomous vehicles. UK-based Adam Tranter is working to build a world where people can get around safely and efficiently without fear of a vehicle running them over. 

Adam is the West Midlands' first Cycling & Walking Commissioner. Appointed by the Mayor of the West Midlands, Adam works with policymakers and the government to steer the region’s cycling and walking policies and plans. 

A former national-level elite cyclist, Adam grew up training and racing with riders who have competed in (and won) the Tour de France. He is the founder of the communications agency Fusion Media and co-host of the Streets Ahead podcast on active travel.
