We need video of Amy chastising drivers in "East Coast Mode."
"Whenever you have the opportunity to do things [to improve cycling and walking infrastructure], do as much as you can!... Go big!" This guy would DESTROY Chuck "Won't Somebody Think of Suburban Pickup and SUV Drivers!" Marohn in a debate!!!! More Progressive than Michelle Wu and Sadiq Khan!
I enjoyed this episode WAY more than I thought I would! I thought it would be overly dog-centric, but instead, as a fellow urbanist runner and cyclist, I related to much of the material presented! In fact, I would go as far as to say it was in my Top 5 best urbanist podcast interviews on ANY channel (Strong Towns, Active Towns, War on Cars, etc.)--you can FEEL the passion in her dialogue!
More action, less apologizing! That's how the Netherlands got it done!
Sorry but I cringe at somebody in such a position of power to shape transportation policy who has ZERO experience bike commuting, especially when bike advocacy groups are frequently put at odds with walking advocacy groups under the guise of "you never walk places," which we know is hardly true.
