Relentlessly curious storyteller at heart.
From wallets to wheels, the topics that keep bubbling to the surface of interest for me are urbanism, micromobility, accessibility for all, and personal finances. The closer you look into these topics, the more you realize just how tightly linked they are together.
On top of all that, I want to continue showing the world how much fun it is to get around outside of a car for everyday tasks, instead of being forced to drive.

I've gotten to the point where I've been mistaken as a city counsellor by City of London staff now 😅

We NEED to get eyes on these bad decisions that London's City Council is consistently making when it comes to Active Transportation infrastructure.

Open Letter to Councillors Corrine Rahman (Ward 7) and Steve Lehman (Ward 8) in North West London:
Your motion to resurrect the Wonderland Road widening and a ring road isn’t just tone-deaf—it’s fiscal malpractice.
At a time when Londoners are already buckling under inflation and tax hikes, you’re proposing to squander hundreds of millions of their dollars on projects that will guarantee higher taxes, perpetual debt, and gridlock for decades.
The 2021 estimate of $212 million for Wonderland’s widening has already ballooned with inflation, and the endless maintenance costs for six lanes and a ring road will bleed taxpayers dry.
This isn’t progress—it’s a Ponzi scheme disguised as infrastructure. If you care about affordability, cancel this motion immediately.
Full VERY detailed letter in the full video and video its description but my headings are:
1. Mega-Projects Are Financial Suicide
2. Traffic “Solutions” That Solve Nothing
3. Hypocrisy on Fiscal Responsibility
4. Climate Denial in 2025
5. There’s a Better Way
The conclusion is that the Wonderland widening alone would be the most expensive project in London’s history, yet history—and basic math—prove it’s a dead end.
It would induce MORE TRAFFIC and wouldn't even solve anything except RAISING TAXES and causing YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION (aka even worse traffic for everyone)!
We know what works:
• Prioritize BRT now: Dedicate lanes for buses that run every 2 minutes during peak hours.
• Accelerate the Mobility Master Plan’s transit and bike networks.
• Fix existing infrastructure: Plow bike lanes, repair sidewalks, and densify corridors.
To Taxpayers:
This isn’t about traffic—it’s about accountability.
If Councillors Rahman and Lehman won’t represent your wallet, make your voice heard. Demand they withdraw this motion and invest in real solutions.
Email, call, or text your respective Ward Councillor.
