Excited to share that @ridewithdance is joining forces with @swapfiets.
When we started Dance more than six years ago, we believed cities needed a better way to move–one that was sustainable, flexible, beautifully designed, and simply more joyful than owning a car. What started as an idea became a product and brand that thousands of people across Europe made part of their daily lives.
A year ago, I transitioned from CEO into the role of Chairman, and I couldn’t be more excited that Dance is entering this next chapter with the right long-term partner. Swapfiets has built an incredible operation across Europe with over 280k bikes on the road across 40+ cities, and together the companies are uniquely positioned to continue growing urban e-mobility at scale.

Brussels! Time to simplify things for our hungry entrepreneurs!
@euinc_petition is such a clear and necessary step that it’s hard to believe it’s still up for debate. Huge thanks to Andreas Klinger and team for leading the charge — let’s get this across the finish line!
With EU–INC we could finally have:
✅ One pan-European legal entity
✅ A single digital-first EU registry
✅ Standardised investment docs & stock options
✅ Simple rules for local taxes & jobs

I remember coding with my brother @itsalfredw when he was nine.
Now he’s launching @ListenLabs from SF and just raised $27M from @sequoia. That’s wild.
I’m so proud and excited about this. Go Alfred!! 🚀🚀🚀 #proudbrother

Excellent piece in @TheEconomist laying out the stark reality of car casualties in the U.S., and the numbers are brutal. The trend of buying ever-heavier vehicles, especially SUVs, is accelerating—and it's a race to the bottom. Safety concerns drive many people to choose SUVs, and while it’s true that you're a bit safer in one, the risks to everyone else skyrocket.
It’s the classic tension between individual choices and collective safety. As the article points out, “For every life that the heaviest 1% of SUVs and trucks save, there are more than a dozen lives lost in other vehicles.”
In cities especially, reducing both the number and the weight of cars must be a priority. Any other approach just doesn’t add up—no matter how you look at it.
Fortunately, there are cities like Paris who are leading the way, with London and many others following suit. E-bikes + better tech and services are a game changer and combined with improved infrastructure they are offering a much smarter path forward. You can't argue with physics, and when you look at the numbers on safety, congestion, health, and pollution, the shift is inevitable.
