Bike Life Radio: Guadalajara - Reno's Bike Brother City Part 1

In this episode of Bike Life Radio, we explore Reno’s unique connection to one of the world's top cycling cities—Guadalajara, Mexico. Known for its impressive bike-friendly infrastructure and innovative cycling culture, Guadalajara has lessons to offer American cities, especially Reno. The city’s government actively promotes cycling through accessible, impactful initiatives, including shutting down major roads every Sunday for thousands to enjoy the streets on bikes, skateboards, and more. This community effort has fostered a thriving bike culture and an expanding protected bike network. And for Reno residents, discovering Guadalajara’s bike scene is easier than ever, with round-trip flights for as low as $150. We’ll uncover how Guadalajara’s commitment to cycling has transformed the city, plus tips on how to experience it firsthand—like where to buy a bike for just $40 at a local market! Bike Life Radio is produced by BikeWashoe.org & NevadaBike.org board member Ky Plaskon. Find more about Ky at Plaskon.org.

Bike Life Radio: Trek Reno Bike Mechanics Part 2

What are the most popular bikes in Reno? No big surprise, mountain, road and e-bikes bikes are the big sellers. But commuter bikes are not as popular as in other communities. Why? Because Reno and Sparks Nevada need more protected bike lanes. Right now, a commuter e-bike at the store is more than half off and so are many other bikes with as much as $6,000 off for the end-of year-sale. Those are just a few of the many topics we cover with 17-year Reno cycling veteran and technician Sean in episode 2 of the new Trek store in Reno. Bike Life Radio is produced by BikeWashoe.org & NevadaBike.org board member Ky Plaskon. Find more about Ky at Plaskon.org.
