Our guest, engineer and storyteller Vikas Bagde, moved from India to Amsterdam for his PhD. He immediately noticed differences in mobility, and especially in the way that people travel the 'last mile'. In this episode, he tells us about how the popularity of the bicycle rose in the Netherlands decades ago, and in which ways that is similar to the rise of the electric rickshaw that is happening right now in India. What role is, or should be, played by the people when tackling mobility challenges? And why is it that the technologically most efficient solution does not always work best? Find out in episode 25 of Talk That Science!
