  • description: 🚲 Data-Driven Cycling: The Future of Urban Mobility with Prof. Dr. Heather Kaths http://linkedin.com/in/heather-kaths/ How can we make our cities truly bicycle-friendly? In this episode, I sit down with Prof. Dr. Heather Kaths, the chair of bicycle traffic at the University of Wuppertal. As one of only six professors in Germany dedicated to this field, she is using data and simulation to bridge the massive knowledge gap between car traffic and cycling. We discuss the "weird" feeling of balance-assisted bikes, the "catch-22" of subjective safety, and why S-Pedelecs are the ultimate game-changer for hilly regions like Wuppertal.
