An amazing few days at EUROBIKE Show meeting with customers, partners and collaborators, who want to help us bring smart, connected grips to the riding community around the world! Dillon Markey David Reed

🚀 Progress update: 69 American cities have eliminated parking mandates as of June 2024! Let's keep growing the #ParkingReform movement and theParking Reform Network!

Founder Dillon Markey at EUROBIKE Show in Frankfurt, Germany. Meeting with potential partners and collaborators and demonstrating our smart grip technology.

Cities really want shared micromobility to be affordable? A recent study found that Fees and taxes charged per mile for dockless shared micromobility is much higher than other modes. Especially, >5x ride hail and 25% more than carshare. Something that I don't understand is the high VAT charged (21% in Belgium) on shared micromobility rides while there are other sectors that enjoy reduced rates. Ofcourse, these fees and taxes are passed on to end users, making shared micromobility less affordable. If cities really care, this should be a wakeup call!

Connected vehicles are the future of transportation, and we're not only talking cars. This tech is here for bikes, e-bikes and all vehicles with handlebars. RideDNA's smart grips allow you to control your phone, music, and signal to cars and other people which direction you're heading, all without lifting a finger.

In REI's national survey, "68% of respondents indicated that their frequency of bike trips would increase if dedicated infrastructure were available, while 62% pointed out the lack of safe infrastructure for active transportation in their cities." https://lnkd.in/eaAGaEXP

Bringing people together for an active transportation tour in Cambridge, MA this week.

It's Bike to Work week across the US and while bike infrastructure is improving, the end of trip facility still needs work. As someone who has biked to dozens of different office buildings in Boston over the last several years, I've seen firsthand how not all buildings have the same level of secure, indoor bike parking. In fact, one building even removed their indoor bike parking. With more people owning e-bikes, it's important to have an inviting place to secure and (bonus - charge them) at their destination. Simply providing a tucked away space without lockers, showers, or changing rooms is not what employees desire. Did you know that each car parking space that sits unused can cost building developers and owners $50k or more? Meanwhile, each parking space can fit 10-12 bikes. Carving out a better space for bikes, e-bikes, and e-scooters is attractive to many existing and new tenants, and their employees. A call to commercial real estate owners and developers - let's work together to improve end of trip facilities and make biking to work a more accessible option for everyone. For real estate companies that have made these worthy investments, they deserve the recognition as ActiveScore certified buildings. #BikeToWorkWeek #EndOfTripFacility #Sustainability #ActiveTravel

We're launching 500 secure bike parking locations across the city! Secure bike parking will help more New Yorkers choose cycling and we are seeking an operator to begin installations next year. The network is expected to be completed over 5 years. More: https://bit.ly/3USCK9Q
