How can I get drivers to slow down in my neighborhood? What’s Vision Zero all about? Why does it take so long to get a sidewalk/bike lane or a reduced speed limit approved? Welcome to the Mechanics of Transportation – a podcast that will answer these questions as well as introduce you to people who you may want to share a bike ride, bus ride or walk with.

Plus, there's a new sub-podcast called RVA Bike Scene in which Sean Yeager and I talk about local events and happenings in the Richmond Va bike scene.

    On this episode of the RVA Bike Scene, Sean and I welcome another special guest, this time it’s bike race organizer and avid racer Graham Costa. He’s here to school me and those who don’t know, all about the cyclocross scene in the Richmond Region–yes, we have one.

    We talk about what cyclocross is, the race calendar and fantasize about what a cargo-bike cyclocross would look like. All the links we talk about are in the show notes. Be sure to like/subscribe and share the show—and now on with the show.
