Louisiana Considered: The Biking Basics Of NOLA And BR

Karl Lengelhosted Wednesday's Louisiana Considered.

Edit:

In my haste to illustrate a broader point about the universality of bike safety issues (even in an historically tolerant city like Amsterdam), I unintentionally conflated the country figures with the city and skewed the statistics. This misrepresentation was pointed out by an avid bike enthusiast from Baton Rouge, and I am posting his link to a recent study reflecting further information on some of the issues regarding bike safety. As a representative of public media, I am deeply grateful to this listener (and ALL our listeners and supporters) for an avid desire for the dissemination of factual and truthful information; it is this kind of passionate ownership that our fund drives emphasize when we talk about the public radio community. The Louisiana Considered “Bike Safety” show opened the door for an ongoing conversation about cycling in south Louisiana that will be exercised with frequent future visits to the topic and a broad variety of guests. Thanks for supporting public radio!
