Have you ever walked down a street in your city and imagined what it would look like without any parked cars? Those empty parking spaces and areas are full of development potential that just needs to be identified. Samuel Hönle’s master’s thesis focused on the transport revolution, and more specifically on cycling infrastructure. He analysed the impact of new cycle paths, and his research produced some exciting results.

At a red light, I was waiting aside a motorcyclist I encountered, as we both descended the same hill, he sped it quickly and I joined a few moments later neatly passing the queuing cars. A short conversation ensued, continuing off from the previous intersection. He said he was jealous of the exercise I was getting while biking, I asked him if he’d consider biking but he said he could never bike in Jerusalem.
