I met Grecia Hernandez through BYCS, the Bicycle Mayor Network. She talked about how her radio show connected her with local bike activists and advocates and helped her come out of her shell. Grecia developed a program to teach drivers how to interact with cyclists safely and created a communications guide to help shape the language around urban experiences.
Riding a bike is not just a mode of transport; it's a political act.
