One app instead of fifteen: shipping v2.
A working note on what changed between SMOVECITY v1 (bikes-only) and v2 (the travel super-app). The integrations that took the longest, the design calls we got right, the ones we're still figuring out.
— Field notes
From the desk.
Urban mobility, multi-modal travel, the operators we integrate, the cities we ship to. What we're reading, what we're building, and what we got wrong.
Bike share parking and dedicated bike parking: balancing space and accessibility.
Cities have spent two decades adding bike racks. Now bike-share has changed what those racks need to do. We look at where the two collide.
The bicycle and the societal role of women — from the 1890s to today.
A century before micromobility was a category, the safety bicycle did more for women's mobility than any other invention. The arc connects more directly than it looks.
Dodehoekongevallen tussen vrachtwagens en fietsers.
Hoe verkeersontwerp, verkeersregeling en verkeersplanning kunnen helpen om dodehoek-ongevallen tussen vrachtwagens en fietsers te voorkomen. Een praktische analyse voor stedelijke planners.
Why the AI plans the whole trip, not just the next ride.
On the design decision to ship an AI that reasons across mobility, flights, hotels and events — and why a route-only assistant felt like a half-product.
What it takes to integrate a 124th city.
Notes from adding Porto to the platform — what the local transit feed looked like, where the docs lied, and how we shipped door-to-door routing in eight working days.
