Checking in with Pedaling the Pueblo
We’re halfway through 2023;
here are our favorite episodes from this year so far.
LSA presents Pedaling the Pueblo, a mini-program and podcast connecting you to bicycle events and updates in Tucson. We invite planning professionals, grassroots organizers, and local storytellers to share what they’re working on, what’s exciting in the bicycling ecosystem, and how more people can ditch their cars for better, more equitable biking experiences. Below are a few select episodes from the 2023 season. Tune in to 91.3 KXCI to hear the show locally, or listen to the entire archive here.
