CURRENT MISSION to make the world's cities more convenient for pedestrians and cyclists – my tools for change now are shared e-bikes and e-scooters earlier I was working for the city of St.Petersburg, being responsible for cycling infrastructure projects. we had our first bike lanes built in 2017. before that I founded and managed a low-tech low-cost bike-sharing service in several cities in Russia: medium.com/cafebike-bicycle-sharing/the-simplest-bike-sharing-system-is-ready-for-launch-in-your-city-375d1c4a1bb2. for some time i was active with local St.Petersburg cycling NGO: velosipedization.ru - all of the above happened after i put on hold my corporate career in november 2015, to follow my dream of making St.Petersburg a cycling city! ABOUT ME not travelling but moving in the world feeling at home everywhere - hitchhiking through the desert in iran, sailing around the aland islands or cycling from paris to bilbao, mountain ararat or kremlin from my office window. PHILOSOPHY Throw away your Rolex and get used to living in eternity
