What does cycling for the ages mean to you?

It means cycling is timeless. Still extremely relevant after over 100 years. Great for the young and old.

How will the city of the future look like taking into consideration the gaps in the developing and developed world?

Cities in the developing world have a chance to leap frog the developed world. Most of the urbanization for the next 50 years will take place in the developing world.
