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! #RIPCFM

Take a listen to the powerful cuteness: open.spotify.com/episode/35v… – at St Paul, MN
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?
