About

I am an American academic and urban planner based in Oslo, Norway where I am on the faculty at OsloMet - Oslo Metropolitan University. Before moving to Norway, I worked in some area of urban planning (either academic or professional) in Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Nebraska, and Georgia.

I got his start in the bike world in the early 2000s with a very brief stint as a bicycle messenger in New York City before finding my way to working at bike shops, riding all kinds of bikes, and getting active in bicycle advocacy.

In summer of 2024 I published "Bicycle City: Riding the Bike Boom to a Brighter Future" with Island Press. Please pick up a copy from your local bookstore! (available internationally)

These days he spends more time writing about bicycles than riding them.
