Winter Biking With Alexa Dobson

Ep. 3
•

This episode of For Those Who Ride is all about biking year round! For a lot of people, the idea of biking in the winter is a hold back to taking up biking for utility more seriously.


To make riding in the winter more approachable, I was joined by the Executive Director of Bike Anchorage Alexa Dobson!


Topics discussed in this episode include:

  • Tips for riding in the winter
  • The considerations required for building year round infrastructure
  • Examples of cities to take inspiration 
  • Ways advocacy orgs can build stronger connections with their community
  • Anchorage’s first bi-directional protected bike lane
  • And so much more!
