Helpful through Biking: Bike Pittsburgh
Show Notes

When I was a kid, riding my bicycle up and down my block was one of my favorite things to do. We had a little creek at the end of the street that served as a gathering spot for all of the neighborhood kids… I guess it was a little like gathering around the water cooler that adults do in the workplace. From our bikes, we’d swap stories, make up games, and just be kids. I haven’t really thought much about biking as an adult. It’s just not part of my life nowadays.  However, that’s not true for this week’s guest. Sarah Quinn is Membership & Outreach Manager at BikePGH, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to making Pittsburgh's streets safer for bicyclists and pedestrians.

As someone who didn't own a car until she was 25, Sarah understands the need for equitable transportation options. She was drawn to BikePGH's mission - to make biking and walking commonplace for all Pittsburghers - so that ultimately all neighbors can access the things they need without needing to own a car.
