Recently, on an episode of the Netflix show Everybody's Live with John Mulaney, the subject turned to bike lanes. Or rather, the subject was turned to bike lanes by Natasha Lyonne. The actress, writer, director and producer said that bike lanes should be “shut down” and claimed that there is no space for them in Manhattan. Journalist Alissa Walker of Torched was on Everybody's Live as a “public transit expert” to talk about Uber, but soon found herself — as a public-transit-riding Los Angeles resident — defending bike lanes and explaining the rational apportionment of urban space to some pretty famous New Yorkers, all of them brilliant and talented. So why is it that otherwise intelligent people often say unintelligent things about bikes? Why do nearly all conversations about transportation, even one that's not about bicycles, devolve into NIMBY-style complaints about cyclists? What can advocates learn from a conversation that, if you strip away the big stars and the studio audience, was indistinguishable from a community board meeting? ***Our new book, Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile, will be published on October 21, 2025 by Thesis, an imprint of Penguin Random House.

In this episode, we sit down with Gabe Klein, former Executive Director of the U.S. Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, to explore the evolution of America's mobility landscape. With a rich background spanning roles as Commissioner of Transportation in both Washington, D.C., and Chicago, and as a former executive at Zipcar, Gabe brings a multifaceted perspective on urban innovation and transportation electrification.We delve into the inception and achievements of the Joint Office, discussing how it bridged the Department of Energy and the Department of Transportation to deploy a nationwide electric vehicle charging network. Gabe shares insights into the challenges and successes of this unprecedented interagency collaboration, including the establishment of uniform charging standards and the promotion of equitable access to EV infrastructure.Beyond his federal tenure, Gabe reflects on his entrepreneurial ventures, such as co-founding CityFi, and his authorship of "Start-Up City," offering lessons on fostering public-private partnerships and driving systemic change in urban environments. We also discuss the current state of EV infrastructure, the importance of resilient and user-friendly charging networks, and the role of innovation in shaping sustainable cities.Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that traverses the intersections of technology, policy, and human-centered design in the quest for a cleaner, more connected future.

Send us a textAre we stretching the Canadian Charter to cover bike lanes and park encampments?Gavin Tighe and Stephen Thiele dive into a fiery debate on the limits of judicial activism and the clash between democracy and constitutional rights. From the controversy over supervised injection sites to the latest showdown over Toronto's bike lanes, the duo critiques court decisions that override elected governments' social policies. They explore how recent rulings may threaten the integrity of the Charter itself and spark wider political consequences—like making the "notwithstanding clause" less taboo. It's a spirited, provocative conversation that questions who really gets to decide the greater good in a democracy.Listen For4:42 Supervised Injection Sites Showdown5:49 Bike Lanes Become a Charter Issue10:59 Small Businesses Hit by Bike Lanes12:50 Tyranny of the Few vs. Majority Rule17:23 Stretching the Charter to Its Limits20:04 The Notwithstanding Clause: Friend or Foe? Leave a rating/review for this podcast with one clickContact UsGardiner Roberts website | Gavin email | Stephen email  

Faith and Val are joined in the studio by Nik Dow of Bike Melbourne. We share our usual bike moments before turning to the Draft City of Melbourne budget currently out for consultation. Nik explains that Despite Mayor Reece's commitment during the 2024 elections to “maintain investment in bike lanes over the next four years at the same level as the previous term of council”, the draft budget shows a huge cut to funding.The City of Melbourne is proposing to spend more on Christmas decorations than it will on building new protected bike lanes and will fall significantly behind in its aims to build 50km of new physically protected bicycle lanes by 2030 on local roads. City of Melbourne is proposing to spend $1.5M in comparison to the City of Sydney spending $13M in an area twice the CoM. With such a small investment the schedule for buidling the nwtork of 50km of new protected bike lanes by 2030 can never be met. You can make your submission to the Draft Budget here. (The section for the first text box is "Bike Lane Funding") Share your story about riding in Melbourne, or not being able to, and ask that funding be re-instated to the same levels as the previous term of Council. You can also join the Critical Mass Ride planned for this Friday in the City with the theme BIG CITY LIGHTS!   

Residents from several Edmonton neighbourhoods are formally requesting the Alberta government intervene to halt a bike lane expansion, calling it undemocratic, unsafe, and fiscally irresponsible. Meanwhile, a new anti-separatist group has filed a referendum application to ask Albertans if they want to remain in Canada, as citizen-initiated referendum activity continues to grow across the province. Alberta's government is also fast-tracking 11 school projects to keep pace with immigration-fuelled growth, and has launched the New North America Initiative — the only dedicated Canada-U.S. policy hub on the continent.

Since 2019, a bike lane on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge added more options for cyclists. Now, the fate of the bike lane is a hot button issue as officials decide whether to limit access to weekends only, or keep the lane open seven days a week. Richmondside reporter Joel Umanzor joins us to talk about what's next for the bridge, and the strong opinions on both sides of the bike lane.  Links: Cyclists cheer as Richmond-San Rafael bridge bike lane vote is delayed again Learn more about your ad choices.

Construction season is in full swing, especially in Edmonton's northeast. But The 132 Avenue Collector Renewal Project has a stick in the spokes: residents are speaking out against construction. On top of the regular headaches from dust and noise, some residents and business owners say they aren't happy with the city's bike lane plans for the area and communication. Host Clare Bonnyman sits down with CBC Edmonton producer Pippa Reed, who spent some time in the area to hear what residents are saying.

Calling bike lanes and bus lanes "Communist garbage" is the kind of red-meat content that makes you dumber but a lot of Americans don't remember how to eat anything else

Val and Faith are joined in the studio by Alison McCormack, CEO of Bicycle Network. We all share our bike moments and consider what appears to be a significant cut to the CoM budget for bike lanes. In light of what everyone agrees is needed to make the CoM a liveable city into the future, the cut from $4M to $1.5M doesn't make any sense. Alison McCormack updates us on the new version of the Great Vic Bike Ride, plans for which have just been released. The changes are designed to make the Great Vic more accessible to schools, provide a deeper dive into a region while also giving participants a journey to complete. You can find out more about the Great Vic Bike Ride here.

New York City will stop enrolling new families who are eligible for child care vouchers. Plus, one of the six guards charged in the deadly beating of upstate prisoner Robert Brooks has pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Also, a plan to add protected bike lanes in Long Island City is getting the green light from a Queens judge. And finally, New York City's Rent Guidelines Board voted on a range of potential increases ahead of its final vote in June.

Minister of Education Paul Calandra is sending investigators to several school boards in Ontario to probe their finances, and, in one case, is recommending the ministry take control. Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath discuss how this happened. Could Donald Trump's trade threats lead to an improved interprovincial electrical transmission system? Advocates certainly hope that's the case, and it would be much needed as consumption is set to rise 75% by 2050. The province and its doctors have reached an agreement that should benefit patients in rural communities. Steve and JMM dig into the details and how this plays into the government's promise to connect every Ontarian with a family doctor.

Episode 19 touches on the bizarre reasons why the City of Winnipeg isn't advertising a Public Works Committee event, more federal election campaign news and views, and more evidence Elections Canada is trying to deceive the public that their "preventative measures" stop non-citizens from getting a ballot and voting.Part 1- Late on Wednesday, a City of Winnipeg representative emailed Marty Gold about his Sun column, Public Works presentation on Bike Lanes, Lower Speed Limits Kept Hush-Hush.The column revealed that while the Saturday morning event is framed as a “robust presentation” about the $96 Million councillors intend to spend on “Active Transportation and Road Safety in the next 6 years,” the people running the show seem to only want to hear from supporters and beneficiaries of their plans. Case in point- Committee Chair Janice Lukes specifically invited the bike lobby, but not WiseUP Winnipeg that represents 14,000 drivers. As Todd Dube suggested, that's one way politicians can use tax dollars to set up a robust echo chamber."It is not a Public Service-led event, and we do not promote information sessions organized and led by an elected official," explained the email. If you think that doesn't make sense, wait till you hear the rest of the explanation of how "there is no component of public engagement or feedback-seeking at this event" and how Marty responded. 20.15 Part 2 starts off with some reaction to Sun columns. Hear comments on the Public Works info session, the injection site Town Hall held by Point Douglas residents, and the passing of Con Lynch, a venerated North Kildonan teacher with a deep connection to Marty's family.27.15 - Listeners and readers contribute tips and observations about the state of the federal campaign. Prospects for the NDP are looking bleak while the Conservatives are finally allowing local candidates to speak for themselves. Meanwhile, the Jew-haters have made their presence felt in Tuxedo, targeting Jewish Tory incumbent Marty Morantz. 34.10 Part 3 - A recent correspondence from Elections Canada revealed how the agency tries to fool Canadians into believing their lax ID practices don't open the door to non-citizens being handed a ballot. Listen to the Elections Canada memo sent to encourage tax preparers to add clients to the voting list. You'll wonder if the agency is only interested in padding voter rolls and not in protecting our democracy.

There's been plenty of controversy over bike lanes in Midtown. Mayor Whitmire initially removed protected lanes on Austin Street without warning, later reversing course in a compromise with the biking community. But some worry that his track record could put other protected bike lanes at risk. Host Raheel Ramzanali digs into the bike lane battles with Joe Cutrufo, executive director of BikeHouston, to talk about how the mayor's decisions affect safety, what's at stake on 11th Street in the Heights, and why expanding bike lanes matters for all Houstonians.

As Nashville grows, we're doing what we can to improve the city, not just for tourists but the people who live here year-round. Making the city more livable is essential to those running the city. At least, that's what they tell us. Building more sidewalks and bike lanes will give people options for getting around town. That may be true, but there's one thing we still need to work on. People using these new bike lanes and sidewalks need to make sure they can be seen at night. I see too many people walking and riding while wearing dark-colored clothing...

The All Local Afternoon Update for Wednesday, March 5 2025

Second of two parts: Bike lanes are a contentious issue in the city, especially on Pine and Spruce Streets, the busiest in the city for cyclists. Mayor Cherelle Parker recently signed a law completely banning any vehicle from stopping in a bike lane. Cyclists say this keeps them safe, so they don't have to swerve into traffic to avoid parked cars. But some Center City residents say it's absurd to prevent them from easily accessing their homes. In the second of a two-part conversation, host Trenae Nuri talks with Leo Levinson, president of the Center City Residents' Association, about this change in Philly's traffic policy. Listen to yesterday's Feb. 24 episode for a different perspective from the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia.

I sit down 1-on-1 with Michael Schneider, “L.A.'s unapologetic biking evangelist” as he makes a fascinating case as to why Los Angeles needs to change its car culture to bike culture? We discuss the new bike lanes popping up all over, why they're always empty, and how he plans to spearhead converting all of us to two wheels! Michael is a reformed “car addict” and founder of Streets for All, the group that was front and center in pushing through Measure HLA, which mandates the city build its own bike and bus lanes.

The show opens with Jason “Mayhem” Miller reading the news including stories about Trump signing an executive order proclaiming there are only two biological sexes, Joe Biden pardoning his family and Dr. Fauci in his final minutes in office, and Sen. John Fetterman arriving at Trump's inauguration in a hoodie & shorts. Next, comedian Ari Shaffir returns to the show to discuss his new Netflix special “America's Sweetheart.” They also discuss how his recent success comes from his lack of caring, the renewed acceptance of offensive comedy, having sex in the trunk of a Volkswagen Jetta, and the pitfalls of dirty talk. Then, Adam & Ari react to clips of a British cyclist who refused to use the bike lane, Scott Galloway explaining why he bet $358k on Kamala to win, and an old “Man Show” sketch. They also talk about the gentrification of Ari's neighborhood in NY, Howie Mandel's popcorn bucket, and whether or not there was FBI mixed into the protestors on January 6th.
