May 16-20 was National Bike to Work Week. (There is a national challenge where commuters can log their rides.) City of Tucson Bike & Ped has been spotlighting staff who commute, encouraging participation and sharing stories of the different kinds of people who get around on bikes.

Pedaling the Pueblo is created by Living Streets Alliance and underwritten by the City of Tucson. We present you a mini-program and podcast connecting you to bicycle events and updates in Tucson. We invite city professionals, grassroots organizers, and storytellers to share what they’re working on, what’s exciting in the bicycling ecosystem, and how more people can ditch their cars for better, more equitable biking experiences.

We want to talk about what’s fresh and relevant in Tucson, so if you have a question or topic you’d like to hear covered, email us at [email protected]. You can also reach out to us on our Facebook page.
