And Jack, you’ll like that Boston is doing some cool stuff with biking.

Bike network 2.0
Boston appointed a ‘bike czar’, Nicole Freedman, and her team has used Google Maps to create a set of bike routes across the city, based on the aggregated data from actual routes that cyclists took across the city“We found out where the actual desire lines are,” said Freedman, and has since extended the network to enable users to rate streets for bikes. It’s a little rudimentary at the moment, but shows the promise of such systems. Boston are building the city’s first official bike map from the results of the system.

A box with the base area of a euro-pallet, only 90cm high. Inside: a armoire, a desk incl. container, a height adjustable stool, two more stools, a shelf, a bed with mattress.

All together to set up without any tools in a few minutes and without leaving any piece over. Alternatively to disassemble, ready to remove, without additional packaging materials but protected perfectly – impossible? Well, it’s not!

Having moved apartments so frequently, this is a modular furniture set I’d love to have! I’d also love a trunk that could efficiently and safely hold some basic dishes and pans, bedding, and electronics – i.e., I’d love to be able to move apartments at the drop of a hat thanks to just a few well-designed, super-efficient containers.
