On this episode of the Rise Seattle podcast, Tyler and Phil sit down with Gabriel Scheer, the director of strategic development for LimeBike, to discuss the recent influx of bike-share systems in Seattle and what that means for the future of the city. Scheer shares his knowledge of the origin of the bike-share trend, including where other companies have failed and how LimeBike changes the game. He also discusses the push-back LimeBike has received from the locals, the positive effects he has seen and hopes to see in the future, and how the introduction of LimeBike and other bike-share systems has opened the door to a much-needed discussion about transportation and the eventual need for shifting expectations and paradigms in Seattle.
