Making California Safe For Bicyclists & Oakland A’s Relocation — KQED Forum 10am PT & KALW’s State Of The Bay 6pm PT

This morning at 10am PT, I’ll be joining KQED’s Forum to discuss how California can make our roads and pathways safer for bicyclists. Biking is a more climate-friendly and healthy way to get around, but sharing space on California’s roadways with vehicles is notoriously dangerous and sometimes deadly. What can be done to make biking safer and encourage more people to ride?

Joining me on the panel will be:

  • Jared Sanchez, policy director, California Bicycle Coalition
  • Darwin Moosavi, deputy secretary for environmental policy and housing coordination, California State Transportation Agency
  • Anthony Molina, chair, Fresno County Bike Coalition

Stream live at 10am PT or tune in at 88.5 FM KQED in the San Francisco Bay Area!

Then at 6pm PT, I’ll be hosting State of the Bay on KALW, where we’ll start by interviewing State Senator Scott Wiener about his bill SB 58 to decriminalize psychedelics in California.

Then I’ll interview former Oakland Athletics vice president Andy Dolich, author of Goodbye, Oakland, about the future of the team and sports in Oakland, given the team owners’ apparent decision to relocate to Las Vegas. Can Oakland find a way to keep their last major sports franchise from leaving?

Finally, we’ll hear all about the San Francisco Mime Troupe’s new satire, Breakdown.
