Everything you want to know about the PikeRide bikeshare program in Colorado Springs. How does bikesharing help us achieve the objectives of our sustainability plan (Looking to Our Future – Pikes Peak Region 2030)? What are the various ways it serves the needs of, and provides joy to, city residents and tourists?
If you heard our interview with PikeRide Executive Director Jolie Nesmith in episode 25 of Peak Environment, this episode will take you farther and deeper.
We recorded this episode at the May 23, 2019 Green Drinks gathering at Local Relic. Green Drinks is hosted by the Green Cities Coalition, generally on the fourth Thursday of every month.
The Green Cities Coalition communicates the promise of embracing sustainable actions in our environment and with one another. We strive to collaborate in positive ways and create partnerships with other people and organizations inside and outside of the sustainability community.
Ultimately, our goal is to celebrate with you the achievements of those who contribute to the preservation and health of our local natural and human environments. We invite you to Communicate, Collaborate and Celebrate all things sustainable with us!
