Notice the bike paths these days? There is bike traffic at stoplights and they seem ubiquitous in any big city allowing tourists and local alike to hop on and off whenever they need, today. Paris and Montreal were early to the game of community bikes where you buy a card or membership and now more and more American cities and campuses are adopting what has long been the norm in Beijing and Amsterdam. Is this the Millennialization of the way we live and work? Tim Ericson, Co-Founder and CEO of Zagster, one of the largest bike sharing companies in the country, based near Kendall Square in East Cambridge, says the Millennials are a driving force. Zagster and their team of mechanics are supplying and servicing many of these new biking cultures across the country. Ericson, a millennial who believes in bikes, climate and neighborly sharing, talks to us from his startup office in Kendall Square.
