This week on Bike Talk, we’re staying in Nebraska! Last episode, we featured John Gibilisco from Omaha, who took on a 30-day winter cycling challenge—and conquered it! Now, we welcome Benny Folz, CEO of Roam, an organization overseeing bike share programs across Nebraska and southwest Iowa.
Benny shares insights on Omaha’s Heartland Bike Share, Lincoln’s BikeLNK, and the world’s most rural bike share program in Valentine, Nebraska. We dive into Omaha’s cycling infrastructure, the impact of e-bikes, and the challenge of shifting a car-centric culture toward biking.
Tune in to learn how bike share programs are growing in the Midwest, how Omaha is improving bike accessibility, and why e-bikes are changing the game for riders of all backgrounds.
📍 Featuring:
🔹 Benny Folz – CEO of Roam & Omaha’s bike share leader
🔹Taylor Nichols Hosts from KPFK Los Angeles, Valley Free Radio, WMBR Cambridge, and WNUC Detroit
🔹 Special mention: John Gibilisco & Pedaling Past 60 (Thanks Guys!)
