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
Holiday Bike Build 2025!
For the second year in a row, I visit Andrew Mann from the Richmond Area Bicyclist Association as he and a team of volunteers start building about 100 kids bikes for the holidays---in all they'll build about 400 or so.
They can use some help too--go here to RABA.
