Episode 1: Nate Phipps and that Spark of Bike Joy

Monday, August 19, 2024 • Duration 35:06

One of the reasons Nate Phipps co-founded the Bicycle Alliance of Washtenaw in 2017 was for the simple reason that he friggin’ loves bikes. They’re elegant, efficient, and they benefit just about every facet of human life. And he knew that if enough of the other 360,000 county residents loved bikes even half as much as he does, he’d be on to something.

We’re also proudly announcing the imminent arrival of a free lending library for e-assist cargo bikes, spearheaded by the e-bike experts at Human Electric Hybrids. Look for more details closer to the A2ZERO Green Fair on September 20.

And remember! Handlebar Happy Hour is coming to Erratic Ale and the Raterman Bread Haus & Bistro in Dexter on Thursday, August 29, in part to celebrate the new B2B Trail section between Zeeb Road and the Delhi Metropark!

We also talk about the unique triple perspective that cyclists have on traffic; our friends and partners at Walk Bike Washtenaw, Ypsi Bike Coop, Common Cycle, and Ann Arbor’s Downtown Development Authority (DDA); and why Bike Party is the most fun you can have on two wheels.

Episode 4: Hannah Stanton-Gockel's bubbles are coming for you.

Tuesday, December 10, 2024 • Duration 50:12

The woman formerly (and still somewhat currently) known as Hula Hooping Hannah is Hannah Stanton-Gockel, a candidate for a Master’s degree in UX Design & Research at the University of Michigan School of Information. And as an urbanism influencer and carless bike commuter, she has started social media presences on YouTube and TikTok that focus on universal access to road infrastructure for people of all demographics and abilities.

Hers is the kind of mind that came up with Bubbles For Bike Lanes, a five-mile bike ride she convenes a few times each year to 1) call attention to roads that are very dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists, and 2) uphold her conviction that the most effective protests are a little goofy.

Like most graduate students, Hannah wants to use data to upend misconceptions about the relationship between cars and vulnerable road users. Why does Michigan’s passionate car culture create biases about cycling’s usefulness? Why do we accept that our daily commutes have be terrible? And why do cities think cyclists can be delivered from harm by a stripe of green paint?

We also talk about how to go carless in the depths of a Michigan winter, the average walking speed of a middle-aged man, and whether Nextdoor Sass would make a good band name.

Episode 3: J. Maxine Bratus on the art and science of bike fitting

Monday, November 11, 2024 • Duration 57:24

It’s easy to understand why cyclists of every skill level—from weekend jaunters to professional triathletes—wait at least three months to be bike-fit by Maxine Bratus. She still loves the process after 19 years because cycling makes her feel like a badass, and that badassery grows when you’re at your most stable in the saddle.

Bike fitting involves technological appreciation for the bicycle and physiological diagnosis of the bicyclist. It’s a perfect science and an imperfect art. It’s exploding in popularity. The technology never stops evolving. And the best practitioners distinguish themselves with a “bikeside manner” that makes their clients feel heard.

Maxine turned her linguistics degree into fitmi! by following her instincts and betting on herself when opportunities arose. She’s the kind of person who fits three people a day for three hours at a time, geeks out about trigonometry when measuring flexion angles, and willed her business through COVID in the depths of winter by keeping her windows open and asking clients to bring their coats.

Episode 2: Decorate your bike for Green Fair!

Tuesday, September 17, 2024 • Duration 34:08

Each year, Ann Arbor’s Office of Sustainability and Innovations hosts its downtown Green Fair, and this Friday, over 100 presenters will take over Main Street to showcase their efforts toward community-wide carbon neutrality by 2030.

The Bicycle Alliance of Washtenaw will be one of those presenters, helping our friends at Human Electric Hybrids launch the city’s new cargo bike lending library. We’re also partial to the annual Bike Parade for the Planet, which will begin with a fleet of decorated bikes—including yours!—from Pretzel Bell at 6pm and end with a free cone at Washtenaw Dairy.

As we near the halfway point of this ten-year initiative, Jennifer and Sheronda are struck by the city’s momentum toward sustainability. The cultural shift is coming, buoyed by unprecedented enthusiasm to keep the planet from boiling away.

Behavioral change can be hard, but little by little, kilowatt by kilowatt, our community is embracing new ways to make our homes and lives more climate-friendly. And the huge leap in usage of the new bike infrastructure is a big part of that.

Join us on September 20 from 5-8pm on Main Street in Ann Arbor, stretching from Huron Street to William Street, and see why this annual blowout is more popular than ever. And one of these years, someone might even offer up bike-aritas!
