We continue the Pedal-Pod series, recorded on location at Open Streets on Lyndale Avenue -- everyone's favorite summer street festival in Minneapolis. John boots failed Ward 13 candidate Mike Norton out of the pod-mobile so he can pick up a winner: Aisha Chughtai, who represents Ward 10 on the City Council. We talk about bike earrings, Aisha's status as "the bus lady," whether she's able to summon optimism about the future, the debate over Mayor Frey's pick to be city coordinator, frustrations over the government structure "trump card," a look ahead to the 2023 election, rent control. John asks Aisha to name her favorite council colleague outside of her own progressive faction (the answer just might surprise you). We look inward to reveal what's irritating about ourselves. Finally, we end the conversation by saying hello to Wedge neighborhood president Jason Garcia.
