Mobi Member Profile: Meet John

Meet John,

 

A Vancouverite who works as an environmental and entrepreneurial consumer product developer and marketer. Alongside his wife, John likes to travel worldwide to film, write and look for ways to make the world a better place by minimizing CO2 and food footprints everywhere.


We asked him a few questions about his Mobi by Shaw Go experience. Here are his responses:

How do you integrate Mobi by Shaw Go into your daily routine?

It's an amazing experience to live in Vancouver and ride Mobi every day.  I've eliminated my car!

We use Mobi for all local trips in the downtown core.  

1) ride Mobi daily to an assortment of interesting coffee shops

2) ride Mobi daily to business meetings and other supplier locations

3) ride Mobi daily for groceries, classes, yoga, swimming, etc.

 

Where is your favorite place to Mobi to and why?

I love the ride along the False Creek Seawall.  It might be the best in North America! From First Beach to Olympic Village and back is simply amazing! Plus the downtown core bike lanes are fantastic (Hornby, Dusmuir, Helmecken, etc.)

 

What is your favorite part of Mobi by Shaw Go?

No worries parking or having your bike stolen.

Bike sharing is the future, it's great for the environment, it's fun and the user experience is superior to car travel.

 

Do you have any Mobi by Shaw Go tips or tricks?

Take it easy.  Don't race.  These bikes are for happy cruising.  The faster and lighter bikes will pass you up. With Mobi it's not a sprint.....it's a sustainable marathon.

 

Words of encouragement for new users?

Yield to everyone.  Let pedestrians go first.  Use the bike lanes - don't ride in traffic.  Think safety first at all times. Smile and let go of all stress.  You're living the future dream in the best bike riding city in the world!
