London comrades, I'll be talking alongside Professor Matthew Beaumont & others at the screening of 'The Experimental City', at the Brunswick Centre on Nov 8th. If you're into half-crazed utopian retrofuturism, this is a must see https://t.co/VUr7FY1eFB

Interesting to note that US gas station revenue in 2017 was roughly the same as ecommerce (~$450bn). I wonder where all that money will move to in the next decade or two.

“[A bike is] a merger of a toy, utilitarian vehicle, & sporting equipment. A person pedaling uses energy more efficiently than a gazelle or an eagle. Triangle-framed bike can easily carry 10x its own weight—capacity no automobile, airplane or bridge can match.”
—Bill Strickland

a lot of the magic i’ve observed in teams over the years happens when the talent stack is collapsed - when a designer also codes, when an engineer has a growth hack skill set, when a product leader is great at copy.
