Strong Talk: Invisible Bike Riders
Last week's article on "invisible bike riders" — the low-income, often immigrant cyclists who bike because they have no choice and who refute our common cultural notions of what a bike rider looks like — garnered a fair amount of attention and conversation. We're continuing that conversation on today's episode of Strong Talk.
The episode will air live at 1:30pm CT today.
We've invited Dan Koeppel, the author of an extended report about the low-income cyclist population (who was quoted extensively in our article); Strong Towns member Alex Baca, who runs the bikeshare program in Cleveland, OH, and John Simmerman, founder of Active Towns, to be on this week's show, hosted by Rachel Quednau.
Tune in on this page at showtime to watch live, or visit our YouTube page afterward to see the recording.
