Roundabouts, Dirt Commutes, and the joy of riding a bicycle with Matt Miller of Ecology Action
In this episode of the Roller Door, Garen and Hannah talk with Matt Miller of Santa Cruz-based non-profit Ecology Action. While the subject matter isn’t our normal mountain bike specific techy nerdfest, it was one of the more satisfying talks we’ve had on the Roller Door to date. Matt’s a cyclist in every form, and his (and Ecology Action’s) mission to get people riding is nothing short of inspiring. Matt and his team recieved a Paydirt grant, which will send them to the Netherlands to learn how to improve bike infrastucture in Santa Cruz -- listen in for statistics on traffic reduction, infrastructure solutions, dirt commuting, and for an open, welcoming stance on getting people out of cars and onto bikes. We’re feeling lucky – first Ben Hildred, and now Matt Miller: two inspiring chats with two enjoyable people who clearly love riding their bikes… just like the rest of us. We hope you enjoy, and if you have any questions for the team here at Santa Cruz Bicycles, please email them to podcast@santacruzbicycles.com. Thanks for listening!
