We also discuss adding pop-up parks and bringing a bit of fun into our public spaces as well as the bike bus trend, with her visit to Barcelona to profile the Bici-bus, which happens every day.\nWe also give a shout-out to Megan Ramey, who leads a bike train in Hood River, OR, and Sam Balto, who leads a bike bus in Portland, OR.\nHelpful Links (note that some may include affiliate links to help me support the channel):\n- Taylor's BikePortland.org articles\n- BikePortland.org\n- My episode with Cathy Tuttle\n- The video version of this episode\n- The landing page on ActiveTowns.org of this episode\nFour Easy Steps to Support My Efforts:\n1.
