Pain at the pump? Bike advocates say pedal to work

from Sound of Ideas · host Ideastream Public Media

Northeast Ohio's Bike Culture National Bike Week happens to fall at a time when many people are paying close to $5 per gallon at the gas pump. Perhaps that's a good reason to hop on two wheels and bike to work or the grocery store. Tuesday on the "Sound of Ideas," we'll explore the cycling landscape across Northeast Ohio. We'll learn about some of Cleveland's newest bike-related infrastructure projects and some of the multi-modal safety measures that the city is implementing. Zooming out, there are also new trails and bike lanes being built in cities like Lakewood and Cleveland Heights, part of the Cuyahoga County's Greenways plan. We'll also explore the unique business model of the Ohio City Bike Co-op, which focuses on low-cost services for customers. And we'll touch on bike advocacy efforts underway from Bike Cleveland. Guests: - Erik Anderson, Executive Director, Ohio City Bike Co-op - Jacob VanSickle, Executive Director, Bike Cleveland
