  • Best show ever

    Bike Talk perfectly combines entertainment and information, and has totally changed my view on bikes and bike lanes. A staple in my drive to work now, I especially love Lindsay’s clever remarks and way of simplifying complex concepts!

  • Confronting Car-centric Mindsets in America

    This pod highlights the efforts of local advocates who are leading the effort to shift Americas from a car-first mindset towards more inclusive thinking for pedestrian and cycling access to public roads.

    The hosts do a great job of bringing attention to the people who are leading the way to safer streets and more active transportation.

  • Host Needs to Prepare

    This podcast has informative guests, but the host just wings-it and in essence disrespects the guests. The host wants the guests to just continue talking and does ask pertinent questions. This sounds like a show made by an amateur, but they actually get broadcasted on a public radio station. There are a few other bike related podcasts that have really good interviewers.
