Tomas Valez believes that commuting should not be an endurance test of traffic jams and toll booths, but a reliable, restorative part of your day. Stepping off the train at Newtown station with his lightweight folding bicycle, he grabs a flat white from Soulmate Coffee before cycling along quiet residential backstreets to his office.
