The Mechanics of Transportation
How can I get drivers to slow down in my neighborhood? What’s Vision Zero all about? Why does it take so long to get a sidewalk/bike lane or a reduced speed limit approved? Welcome to the Mechanics of Transportation – a podcast that will answer these questions as well as introduce you to people who you may want to share a bike ride, bus ride or walk with.

The Mechanics of Transportation - Episode 3 - Bike Commuting with Phil Riggan
Ever thought about commuting by bike? After hearing episode three, in which I speak with committed bike commuter Phil Riggan, you may want to give it a go. He’s been bike commuting for decades and rides through all kinds of weather and on average, rides over 3500 miles per year!
We nerd out about those numbers, routes and also talk about tips for those who are thinking about giving bike commuting a shot.

I’m a transportation reporter, formerly with VPM News, where I covered both local and national issues around transportation, including features on Vision Zero, speed enforcement and local bike races.
On this podcast, I’ll dive into the issues around transportation–from the cost of infrastructure to the people making the decisions on how we navigate the roads to people who you may want to share a bike ride, bus ride or walk with.
