The future of cycling in Nashville

Anyone who lives in Nashville can tell you how hard it is to get around town without a car. But, trying to bike to work or school can be dangerous or downright impossible in the city. Today, we’re joined by transportation planners and a cyclist to learn more about the current state of our city’s cycling infrastructure and what plans are in the works. Then, we’ll hear from a couple of educators who work with kids and adults about what it means to own a bicycle and the best ways to stay safe on the road. But first, WPLN metro reporter Ambriehl Crutchfield discusses her profile of Nashville’s Vice Mayor Jim Shulman and the politics of politeness. Guests:  Ambriehl Crutchfield, WPLN metro reporter Daniel Capparella, associate transportation planner for the Greater Nashville Regional Council Cedric Duncan, director of Bike for Equality Dan Furbish, founder of the Oasis Bike Workshop Cathy Carrillo, education and engagement manager for Walk Bike Nashville
