The time has come to wrap it up! What started as an experiment in 2020 led to some incredible conversations and maybe even changed a few minds along the way. We're so grateful for all of the support & couldn't have done it without you, interviewees and listeners alike!

Wednesday's episode is truly unique: we interviewed kids about why they love their BIKE BUS!! Prepare to be inspired by both the kids and their fearless leader, who is not only a parent but also City Councilor. She's affecting change on all fronts and we're grateful for her time!

Next up, Erik Noonan of @webikerochester, a chapter of the @bicyclealliancemn! He wears a lot of hats (helmets?) so we touched on issues in Rochester, MN and beyond. From a $5.6B investment with the Mayo Clinic, to "parking issues", and what's next. Live everywhere Wednesday!

Barcelona has been working to convert hundreds of blocks into pedestrian greenways and I need to know why every major city in North America isn't doing this?

“A new cost-benefit study in New Zealand finds that investments in cycling & walking facilities outweigh the costs of building them by 10 to 1. The research found that the most important economic benefits were health gains from use of active transport.” https://t.co/JEGofONsyj

It's true: the spookiest thing about #Halloween is our deadly roads. Seems like a great day to be car-free! Be safe out there, one and all.

Happy Halloween! 🎃👻

Friendly reminder that today is statistically the deadliest day of the year for children walking. Consider not driving tonight during trick or treat hours if you don’t truly need to. If you do need to drive, pay extra attention and go slow.
