Episode Details

The Trump administration is rolling back bike lanes, calling them unworkable and blaming them for traffic chaos — but critics say this ignores proven safety benefits and pushes back on a practical, eco-friendly alternative. Framed as “DEI bike lanes,” the move baffles advocates who see cycling as universal, not political. Underlying the pushback? A cultural bias that equates biking with weakness — while studies show bike lanes make roads safer, reduce pollution, and offer affordable mobility in an era of rising transportation costs.
