Getting to visit all these cities in person, often walking and riding the streets accompanied by local advocates and elected officials, was a real joy and a privilege. We saw a lot! And maybe not surprisingly for a couple of podcasters, we had some thoughts about all of it—from excellent bike lanes and public spaces to transit service that left a lot to be desired and the horror that is Interstate 5.  Our tour continues! Find out where we'll be next at lifeaftercars.com.  Our upcoming schedule:  Providence, RI: 12/2 Austin, TX:  12/4 and  12/5  Houston, TX: 12/10  Denver, CO: 12/12  Boulder, CO: 12/13  Support The War on Cars on Patreon and receive exclusive access to ad-free versions of regular episodes, Patreon-only bonus content, Discord access, invitations to live events, merch discounts and free stickers!
