LSN Member of the Week: Mr. Theo

Let's give a warm Streetsblog welcome to Mr. Theo, the newest member of the Livable Streets Network. You may recognize Theo as the star of the Louisville, Kentucky transit system's YouTube hit, "Bikes-on-Board." Sure, some LSN members will criticize him for uploading a photo of himself standing next to a vehicle that gets about 7 miles per gallon and runs on leaded fuel. But give the man some credit for supporting urban infrastructure investment; his personal web site is BigDiggity.com. If you're looking for a transit-oriented M.C. in the River City area, Mr. Theo is for hire.

Let’s
give a warm Streetsblog welcome to Mr. Theo, the newest member of the

and runs on leaded fuel. But give the man some credit for supporting
urban infrastructure investment; his personal web site is BigDiggity.com. If you’re looking for a transit-oriented M.C. in the River City area, Mr. Theo is for hire.
