I am a professor at the University Claude Bernard Lyon 1. I ride my bicycle everyday everywhere I go (I tend to take bike related subjects quite personally). My native language is French, I speak English pretty well, understand German and Spanish. I've lived in Sweden, Israel, Australia, Germany, England. So I hope I might be of some use on some subjects related to these themes.
I am the brother of Laurent MERCAT, CEO of Smoove and, since I am interested in bicycles and bike-sharing, I do share the information that these special interests and position give me access to. I hope that my posts are not felt as touting, please feel free to discuss this with me.
