2022: inspired by the documentary ’together we cycle’ by Gertjan Hulster and Arne Gielen, I sold my cars and started a new ‘active mobility life’. I am not without cars, but with less car usage and when using them they are shared. Do what you preach.
I also joined the Fietsersbond (Dutch Cyclists’ Federation) and shortly after that became president of Fietsersbond Rotterdam+Region. This chapter of the Fietsersbond meets the City of Rotterdam every two months, since October 1970. Together working on a bicycle friendly city. With success.
At about the same time I was called by Maria Tsavachidis, CEO of EIT Urban Mobility, and asked to join as Innovation Hub director for ‘Hub West’. As EIT Urban Mobility builds a business as a pan EU organization, Innovation Hub West covers the region United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgian, Luxembourg and Netherlands.
EIT Urban Mobility’s mission is to help accelerate the sustainable mobility transition and create liveable cities.
