“Thank you for enlightening me with each and every episode. I attempt to bike to/fro work 365 days in rural Alberta, Canada. It’s been a challenge and not what you think. The weather has been absolutely beautiful year round. Carcentric thinking is the problem. I’m attempting to get town council to...”Read full review »

“What if we transfered public spaces to bikes and pedestrians?
What if we challenged the status quo?
What if we thought about the actual effects o four current mobility choices?”

“Don’t be put off by the title: it’s tongue in cheek, based on the vitriolic reactions to those activists who are simply seeking safer ways to bike around their communities, and safe routes to school for our kids.
Car culture is ubiquitous. But it also kills, pollutes and isolates us. Almost...”Read full review »

“Elon has mentioned that suburban sprawl and parking lots are horrible. He knows that cars aren’t the solution. We still need electric vehicles, although they’re not the solution, they are part of the solution. I live in central Florida and I’m completely aware of the destruction that suburban...”Read full review »

“This podcast has a simple premise - offering perspectives of a car-free world or a world with significantly reduced car-orientation. But the podcast often focuses on cycling and culture and politics, yet doesn’t focus much on transit, urban design, or climate. I appreciate the perspectives, but...”Read full review »

“For me and many others, our daily enjoyment of life is inversely proportional to how dependent we are in a car. The hosts do a great job of educating us all on how getting out of our cars is good for all of us and how our cities can always do better to make it so”

“Avid cyclist from Europe here. Granted, owning bikes and using them instead of a car just isn’t as much of a political statement here than it is in the US. And I believe in waging a war on cars - cities will work much better without them. Yet, podcasts like these do not seem to be adding much to...”Read full review »
