America Walks and Bikes (awab) by BikeTalk
BikeTalk interviews Ryan F. Allard, PhD, an entrepreneur, researcher and speaker, who lead the transport research that fed the New York Times Bestseller: "Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming." Allard, now a founding climate tech fellow with On Deck, used his climate change storytelling expertise well in this lively conversation with Lindsay Sturman and Andrea Learned (https://soundcloud.com/biketalk/bike-talk-andrea-learned). One fun fact: the Project Drawdown team did not initially intend to include eBikes as a solution, but then… (listen to learn what convinced them to). Allard also digs in a bit on the math of carbon emissions, and discusses the need to see a balance of modes - and include eBikes as legitimate tools to reach our climate action goals. https://www.drawdown.org/ https://www.beondeck.com/ Ryan’s LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanfallard/ Ryan’s Twitter profile: https://twitter.com/RyanFAllard
