Q&A with Modo's fastest member

Lanni Marchant is the current Canadian marathon record holder and based in Vancouver for her #RoadtoRio Summer Olympics training runs.

Lanni is hoping to compete in both the women’s marathon and 10,000m. For the times “when these legs can’t make the trip”, Modo gets her around Vancouver — whether it’s to explore new trails or check in with her physio.

Aaron's Transportation Makeover

Vancity's Aaron Cowie has made the switch to a greener commute by trading in his car and relying on transit, cycling and carsharing for a month as part of the Generation Squeeze Transportation Makeover.

"My Modo is a good problem solver for me, should I need something quicker than transit or for transporting anything bigger than I can carry, it works great for me in that respect. All in all I have gotten into a good groove and see this as a longer term solution." - Aaron Cowie.
