Creating successful bicycle transportation networks in Boston: Dr. Peter Furth at TEDxNortheasternU

Peter Furth has a vision for a Boston fully connected by bikes, and it's probably a lot more reachable than any of us ever thought. Peter Furth, a Northeastern University professor of civil engineering, has a passion for biking. After seeing how easy it is to bike in cities like Amsterdam and Montreal, Peter was determined to bring this ease to America. Starting in his classroom, Peter and his students have figured out exactly how we could make Boston just as bike friendly as any city in the Netherlands, and just how transformative this shift towards bike path connectivity could be. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
