Getting your foot in the door is the hardest part (like many other industries). I don't have a lot of recent experience, but a boot camp or something similar might be needed to get past the first line of hr screening.

I couldn't find anywhere on the site though: can I export the data and self-host? If I were to invest time cataloging my data this way, I'd want to be sure I had a backup plan just in case the service went down one day
Various humans have various racial biases -- but that doesn't mean we should just throw our hands up and give in to those biases! Seeing those biases should spur us to recognize them as real and damaging, rather than normalize them
In a perfect world, we would have separate infrastructure for pedestrians, cyclists/scooters, and cars -- but our cities aren't laid out that way. Instead, most of the time, we devote huge tracts of land to cars, and force everyone else to share the scraps.
Where should the cyclists in your anecdote be riding? What speed do cars in the lanes nearby travel, and how aware are they of other road users?
The conversation can be very different from city to city, but in most places in America, sharing the road with cars means risking serious injury or death
My local deli is an Access Point. Presumably they're getting paid by UPS for their shelf space, where packages are stored until you come in to pick them up.
Without regulation or tax incentives, it's easy to ignore the externalities in your choices. As an example taken to the extreme: if there was no regulation against dumping your industrial waste in the river, the free market should use that option, as it's cheaper than properly disposing of the waste.
Quoting from the article: "The study, which synthesises existing research on the effects of frequent travel, finds three types of consequence: physiological, psychological and emotional, and social."
