Cycling enthusiasm in Northwest Arkansas is not limited to mountain bike trails and long gravel rides through the Ozarks. Regional leaders envision 1,800 miles of shared-use and bicycle paths connecting communities across the region, allowing residents to make active transportation (e.g., walking, biking) part of their daily lives. Building that kind of infrastructure requires more than bike lanes and new trails, though. It also takes training, community outreach, pedestrian safety, and much more. Ryan Hale of Laneshift, a firm based in Rogers that specializes in bicycle and pedestrian planning and design, joins us on this episode of the Wonks at Work podcast.
