Films and Interviews

Not work related. This is a short video of Chris doing an 'Everesting' where he rode his bicycle wih 8,848 m of climbing in a single activity. He went on to do just over 10,000 m of climbing, one of only 5 people his age (over 60) to ever do this (crazy!) event.

Short film on the Third East West Highway project in Georgia.

A series of videos compiled from photo montages of the identification mission for the Armenia Lifeline Improvement Project. These roads were visited in January so not exactly a pleasant time for checking out roads!

An interview on China television discussing the Taiyuan Urban Transport project.

While working in China, we completed a 220 km expressway. What better way to do my final inspection except on my bike? Our counterparts organized it and several dozen of us set off on the rain. This made the local TV news and the clip was filmed by the camera crew. A cyclists dream to have a brand new, empty expressway to ride!

A video showing the ROMDAS (ROad Measurement Data Acquisition System) that I developed and sold from 1989 until I joined the World Bank in 2003. If you look closely you can see our cat Aslan photobombing the video :-)
