Phil provides a comprehensive breakdown of his modal mix during his car-free experience, including transit, walking, and cycling with a rented electric assist bike from a local non-profit, Active SGV. Phil also mentions the exciting development of a Dutch-style protected/separated bike lane and protected intersection in Glendora, CA.\nWe mention Prof. Donald Shoup, who passed away after this episode was recorded but before its release.\nThank you so much for tuning in!
