Dave Cohen, the founder of Vbike, joins me for Episode 9. We have a wide ranging discussion that covers Vbike origins and role in the community, how electric bikes can help mitigate poor infrastructure, ways bike shops can cater to a wider clientele, the dangers of automobilism, and how biking can engage our senses and create a deeper sense of connection to the world around us. If you are interested in hearing more about the concepts behind automobilism, check out this New York Times Magazine article Dave recommends. Here are links to everything we discussed in the show:
