Thursday, February 9, 2023 – The Native bicycle movement

Bikes have always been an affordable and healthy option for getting around, especially for urban Native Americans. You just need to build in a little extra time and effort in order to get where you’re going. There’s more incentive now than ever to reduce consumption of fossil fuels. The Navajo Nation has a reservation-wide program to encourage bike riding. They’re just one tribe capitalizing on the environmental, health, and tourism benefits of bikes. Today on Native America Calling, we catch up with Rezduro co-founder Adrian Herder (Diné); LaJuanda Stands And Looks Back (enrolled Rosebud Sioux Tribe member), tribal transportation planner; and Vanessa Bowen (Diné), product designer and cyclist.
