Listen "Will Bicycles Replace Cars? - with Hailey Tallman (ep11)"
Episode Synopsis
Hailey Tallman's never owned a car and that's shaped the way that she's built her life – from being able to travel the world without being tied down, to being able to buy her house. She does almost everything on her e-bike, and before that, her various bicycles :)
In episode 11 of the Wheels and Beyond Podcast, we chat about SO many incredible bicycle-related topics, and even SOME topics I bet you've never heard of before!
Things like…
- her AMAZING artwork that focuses on envisioning the world that we want to live in,
- how not owning a car allowed her to save up for a down payment on her house
- how bicycles are OBVIOUSLY the best post-apocalyptic vehicles,
- how our society victimizes women and cyclists in similar ways – think “but what were they wearing?!” and this is something she longs to change for the better through how she lives her daily life.
- and more topics like, walkability, super blocks, a CRAZY bike theft story, safety, risk aversion, cycling pretentious, and much more!
All-in-all, cycling gives Hailey the freedom, happiness, and peace of mind that getting around by car never could.
So have a watch/listen :)
