Finally, we will begin our series on cycling trails and paths. I did hear from quite a few of you about your favorites and we will begin the series here in my home state, Ohio.
Tom Bilcze is the president of the Ohio to Erie Trail Foundation and he has ridden almost every inch of the 326 mile route from The Ohio River to Lake Erie. Tom will offer us some of the highlights of the trail along with some great information about how to plan your trip including an interactive map.
A couple of weeks ago, I spoke with Tom and, since then, I’ve been following his postings on FB as he rides up towards us here on the shores of Lake Erie. My conversation with Tom details much of what he is seeing as he moseys along.
Find out more about the Ohio to Erie Trail at ohiotoerietrai.org – and plan your trip with the interactive map.
In the second part of the show, I welcome Sela Musa, a reporter for ZAG Daily, an online portal to The Business of Sustainabile Mobility. Sela will walk us through the EU’s Declaration of Cycling which, while not a mandate, sets forth 8 principles and 36 commitments around sustainability through cycling that the EU and its member states have agreed to commit to.
On April 3rd, the EU Declaration on Cycling was signed by all the EU Transport Ministers in Brussells. My guest, Sela Musa, wrote in her article for ZAG Daily that “It was a historic milestone for cycling.”
Sela is here to detail the Declaration and tell us about ZAG, the publication she works for that covers “The Business of Sustainable Mobility.”
You can check out ZAG Daily on line where you get a taste of tech, trends, people, and places as well as sign up for their newsletter.
I hope you enjoyed the show and invite you to send me information on your favorite trails for future reporting. You can email me at [email protected].
One last thing – my thanks to the League of American Bicyclists for including me in their webinar on July 9th about Podcasting for Bicycle Advocates. It was a fun conversation, and you are welcome to take a listen.
