Enhancing cities for its people, one intervention at a time.

Finding a #flatmate is tough! I'm glad I built an app for it. Introducing RentCupid - an instant messenger that helps you connect with #flatmates, instantly.

If you've ever searched for a #flatmateinbangalore this one's for you. check it out at https://t.co/IRUgmbPB9R

Take a shot @altmoapp lets see if @WRIIndia @ToyotaMobFdn @OfficialBMRCL @ELCITA_IN really mean what they say. We will find out in May.

I've built RentCupid to help you get familiar with a potential flatmate quickly and effectively. Being able to approve flatmates based on personality traits and instantly message them are the biggest highlights of the platform.

I built this platform when I faced the same problem after I moved to Bangalore a few months ago. But, finding someone who I could see myself sharing a home with proved to be an impossible exercise.

Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay we need to move some mics to the left.

Personally, I have never met anyone who buys a Fortuner or Endeavor for their mile-munching capability (the only acceptable reason). A genuine use-case but that's about it, KEEP IT ON THE HIGHWAY. Our cities don't need SUVs, especially if it's a tool for your fragile masculinity

[Jennifer Keesmaat @jen_keesmaat]

Appeal of bigger & more brutish trucks reflects “a crisis of masculinity. Nothing could be more emasculating than driving a minivan. So you want the vehicle that’s going to maintain your performative masculinity.” We have to protect our children from this. Every part of it.

[Knerav Kodolikar @kneravk]

Here is how we can start:
1) Build a safer street
2) Build a safer locality
3) Build a safer city

BUT, once we begin, we will realise that the safer a street gets for people, the lesser motor-vehicles it accommodates. Then, the so-called 'tough' decisions begin. #Cities4All

[Vice-President of India @VPIndia]

Let's build a safer, cleaner and healthier world... Let's go #cycling.

[Knerav Kodolikar @kneravk]

214 humans, a majority of whom are pedestrians and cyclists. Drive as a weekend getaway, I do. Drive because you enjoy the same, I do. But realise your responsibility while you do so. Your motor vehicle is far from ideal for our cities, it's downright dangerous. #citiesforpeople

…in an environment with vulnerable people all around you; people like your parents, your children, your neighbours and people like your friends...
(let’s say, a city)

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

They say “We can’t do that. We’re not Amsterdam.” You reply “Amsterdam wasn’t always like that either” & show before & after transformations illustrating how cities we admire made CHOICES. They try different excuses. Don’t accept them either. (1e van der Helststraat, 1978 & 2005)

[Knerav Kodolikar @kneravk]

We must recognise the difference between problem mitigation and problem aversion. While #EV is the future of vehicles, it must not be made the future of #cities.

[Urban Cycling Institute 🚲  @fietsprofessor]

Our problems will not be solved by different cars.

They will only be solved by fewer cars.

#RideForSafety is back. #KeepMeSafe is the call we put out last year to motorists. This Oct 2nd we #RideAgainstRoadVoilence. Time to give people who walk and cycle their due.

[Knerav Kodolikar @kneravk]

@VidushiTiwari25 @ananyeet Please check your inbox.

[Knerav Kodolikar @kneravk]

Absolutely amazing. Quite a departure from the usual truck-first, minivan-second and car-third streets. The bicyclist? Forced into a rut or on the curb and, if you've ever ridden in India, in the rut AND on the curb.

[Henk Swarttouw @copenhenken]

Levels of hospitality in #Amsterdam. On the left a bicycles-first street, where cars are guests. The narrow street on the right is primarily for pedestrians, where cyclist are to behave as guests.

[Knerav Kodolikar @kneravk]

@ananyeet @VidushiTiwari25 I will revert asap.

[Knerav Kodolikar @kneravk]

@ananyeet Thank you.

[Knerav Kodolikar @kneravk]

@Impanapattansh1 Till then we must make common consideration, common.

[Knerav Kodolikar @kneravk]

"But the #pedestrian was sorta kinda in the way of harm, right?". Wrong, we haven't built #cities around the needs of pedestrians and #bicyclists that's all. This must change.

[Streetsblog USA @StreetsblogUSA]

"We don’t have to just accept [pedestrian deaths], and they aren’t just acts of God. They are very often the result of political decisions about what our values are or, in the case of pedestrians in particular, whose lives matter." -@schmangee #RightOfWay https://t.co/KncsQTSL5z

[Bicycle Mayor Bengaluru - ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಸೈಕಲ್ ಮಹಾಪೌರ @bicyclemayorblr]

This is your chance to ditch that vehicle and get on a bicycle coming up on this very same segment. With bus lanes next to it there will be no more excuse. It’s now in our hands (or legs). #resetwithcycling #cycletowork https://t.co/RUZEIIlZ2t
