Change takes time, but one organization has shifted gears, starting with dirt trails to now include paved trails. The Truckee Meadows Parks Foundation was created to focus on dirt trails and enhance economic development around Reno. However, the organization has recently shifted to include urban trails for the same reason. We talk to Jay Howard of TMPF. BIKE LIFE Radio is a show on KWNK where we talk to people about their bikes and lives—presented by Ky Plaskon & the Truckee Meadows Bike Alliance. Ky has been commuting by bike to work for more than 30 years. He also worked in radio and TV for over 20 years from Alaska to San Diego, Las Vegas, Reno, and Sacramento. He wants to bring a lighter and funnier feel to bike discussions. For more information and to contribute to TMBA, go to https://bikewashoe.org/

Drivers roll through stop signs. So why can't bike riders? The federal government says the safest way to ride a bike is to roll through the intersections when there are no cars. Its even more important for cyclists because stopping and starting take a huge amount of energy. Believe it or not, some people don't ride bikes because not stopping at intersections can get you a ticket. Now, laws are sweeping the nation to change that and right here in Nevada, we are considering similar legislation. We will talk to advocates who have passed or are working on new laws in Boston, Washington DC and Rochester. One of them, Erik Noonan of We Bike Rochester is a League of American Bicyclists Certified Advocate, and he is moving to Las Vegas where he hopes to continue his advocacy.
