02 / Growing up in the Netherlands / with pro footballer Eva Van Deursen

Eva Van Deursen - professional footballer for Bayer Leverkusen and the Dutch National Team - joins live from Phoenix, Arizona for the second episode of the show. We discuss: Growing up in the Netherlands and its world-leading bike culture and infrastructure. The differing psychology between Dutch drivers and American drivers, and how the built environment has conditioned us each. Getting a proper introduction to bikes at a young age. How biking and walking make you a better driver. Making it harder for people to drive, while making it easier for them to choose other modalities. How to truly protect cyclists: helmets, or safer infrastructure? What happens in the body and mind when we choose active transportation. Culture shock of biking on U.S. roads for the first time. The professional athlete's role in creating better cities and communities. The impact of secure bike parking.
