Beyond Cars | Mike Sule of Asheville On Bikes

If you travel Merrimon Avenue in North Asheville with any regularity, you probably have a strong opinion about it. The road diet of last fall cut four driving lanes to two with a center turn lane and new bike lanes on the margins. Host Matt Peiken talks with Mike Sule, the founding director of Asheville on Bikes. Some people applaud the lobbying he and his group did to bring the road diet forward. Others left fuming in midday single-lane traffic jams likely hold a different view of Sule’s efforts. In this conversation, Sule talks about his path to bike advocacy and the fight he’s waging to make Asheville a more livable city.
