...their fancy bicycles. Economist Emmanuel Farhi says his bike is “very powerful,” and physicist Gerald Gabrielse notes that his is made of titanium. Still others, such as economist Matthew Nunn, mathematician Bret J. Benesh, English professor Elizabeth D. Lyman, and political scientists Glyn Morgan and Cindy Skach said they used Zipcars when they needed mechanized transport. “Nearly everyone I know uses them,” Morgan says of his Cambridge neighbors.
