Adham Fisher attempts to break the records held for visiting every station in urban rail systems in as little time as possible. He has been to many cities in this pursuit including London, New York, Barcelona, Toronto, and Chicago, and while he does not yet hold the current record, he is perhaps one of the most dedicated practitioners in his field. We spoke about the Tube Challenge, his experiences with transit, and cultural perspectives on its use.
Adham’s compilation of transit-themed music, 1000 Stations – Metro EP, can be found on the iTunes Store. Also, see Adham’s kit for these challenges.
Also, Brock & Aaron chat about Little Free Libraries and organized bike rides in the neighborhood.
