It's Bike, Walk and Wheel Week in Columbia! Join the library and Local Motion as we watch an online discussion with author Mia Birk about her inspiring story, documented in her book “Joyride: Pedaling Toward a Healthier Planet.” Dive deep into Mia’s 20-year crusade to integrate bicycling into daily life. This book tells the story of her personal experience leading a revolution that helped grow Portland, Oregon into the country's premier cycling city. Birk then took that info on the road to teach communities how to incorporate cycling into their civic DNA to make their towns healthier, safer and more livable.
