This week we have a very special guest who will speak about how hopping on a bike is not only good for your overall well-being, it’s also a great way to help make your community a more livable place. Deloris Lucas is known as “the bike lady” in the Riverdale neighborhood on Chicago’s far South Side and has been organizing a community bike ride for the past five years to bring awareness to the transportation needs where she grew up.

Hear Bob, Rosana and Deloris discuss the growing need for alternate transportation in Chicago's far south side, how Deloris has been influential in the opening of three new bike share stations in her neighborhood, and what she hopes others can learn from her experience.
