Land is not cheap anymore.

"If you believe we will live in fear, invest in cars.
If you believe we will live in peace, invest in micromobility.
Car is a response to fear, it's as simple as this."
@asymco #MicromobilityMoment
"As carmakers move upmarket - and they can't help not to - they open a vacuum below."

"We do not know a magic formula in micromobility yet. Through perseverance, through trial and error, we will get there." @asymco #MicromobilityMoment
"Pay attention to usage, pay attention to real users. That's where the reality is." @asymco #MicromobilityMoment
"Transit and micromobility are the best friends." @asymco #MicromobilityMoment

(remember my notes from March, @VitekJezek? ;-)
"Disruption theory is clear on this: You have to fire your best customers if you want to innovate, thrive and move to the future. Carmakers are showing they can't help but to stick with them - see SUVs, bigger electric cars with huge batteries etc." @asymco #MicromobilityMoment
"Every carmaker needs to have its own micromobility division. They need to get it as quickly as possible. I see Tier 1 suppliers being far ahead on it actually." @asymco #MicromobilityMoment sending a clear message to @VWGroup & Co.
"If you want to see the future, go to the Netherlands. Go to Copenhagen. Go to Paris nowadays."
@asymco #MicromobilityMoment
"There is a different culture coming out of cycling and micromobility. A culture of satisfaction, of wellbeing, a culture of smiles. A culture that actually makes a lot of sense economically, too."
@asymco #MicromobilityMoment
"Once you start investing in infrastructure that makes people healthy you start reaping the benefits of having a healthy population saving billions in health care."
