Crossing town by bus, foot and long-tailed cargo bike, she has enough good ideas for ten shows. AND she serves the best biscuits & gravy around. Here’s an hour, anyways!

We chat about the fleet of BMW and Mini vehicles that will be rolling out in Portland this week, how they can help meet the transport needs of low-car lifestyles, and what it’s like to take your mom to the top of the Space Needle. “Free-floating car share” for the win!
