Season 1 Episode 38:
AN IN-DEPTH DISCUSSION
WITH COMMISSIONER ELLIS AND FERNANDO MARTINEZ

About the transformation of Houston, TX into a more cycling-friendly city, the big expansion of the Houston B-Cycle bike-share system, new pathways, protected bikeways, and so much more.

Show Notes:

When thinking of Houston, TX, the phrase bicycle-friendly environment rarely comes to mind, but if these two distinguished leaders have their way, that’s exactly what the future will hold.

In this episode, we have an in-depth conversation about this task with Rodney Ellis, Commissioner, Harris County, Precinct 1, and the Precinct 1 Bike Program Director, Fernando Martinez.
